Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s lobbyist, Karl Von Batten, has reposted on social media his appointment as a commissioner to a White House presidential commission.

Von Batten made the repost late Sunday, 24 hours after he had earlier deleted the appointment post.

He had claimed that he removed the post after the White House informed him that the Nigerian government had repeatedly called to complain about the appointment.

However, checks on the verified X account of his firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C., where the post was deleted, showed that it is currently available.

The post read: “We are glad to announce that on August 31, 2026, Dr Von Batten was appointed by President Donald J. Trump to serve as a Commissioner on the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars.

“We will remain grateful to the most consequential American President in our lifetime for choosing to honor Dr Von Batten with that appointment.

“God bless America, and may all who oppose her fail.”

DAILY POST reports that Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. is the firm investigating the alleged drug trafficking case linked to Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu.

What is bat really afraid of?

If he has nothing to hide, he need fear no harm to his reputation or support base.

I know for a fact that even if the records hold damaging information on his person, it won't affect his reelection chances in Nigeria or even make a significant dent in his support base...

So, why the concern about release of the records or hounding those who believe there is something fishy about his past?

Ikebefuna is a big joke and scam, Only crooks like him still believing him

Parachoko:
Even in the US, US Presidents and Governors hardly Willingly agree to release all their records

Na you get time dey explain things to people driven by hate and bitterness. No amount of truth/fact can change their minds.

Parachoko:
Their hate for Asiwaju won't let them think straight.

I do wander why they hate him so much.

Nothing he has done, wey Politicians from every Part of Nigeria never do

We should be happy that he has not been caught with drugs like his brethren.

Tinubu and his lackeys should move on from this and stop bombarding the WhiteHouse with enquiries. The WhiteHouse has categorically told Sunday Dare that indeed, Dr. Karl Von Batten was appointed by Trump. Dare has sinced moved on to consoling himself that the role is an inpaid one. Can a man who rejected a bribe offer of 3m dollars be seen as broke? The WhiteHouse also reached out to Von Batten to inform him that the presidency have been bombarding them with enquiries, which prompted Von Batten to take down the post to discontinue the constant spamming of the WhiteHouse by Tinubu's lackeys.

1. He's a Yoruba man.

2. He shouldn't have contested in 2023 because it's supposed to be Igbo people's turn. (And APC which, according to them, has always been an evil "Yoruba/Hausa-Fulani" party ought to have still zoned its ticket to the SE...even when PDP, which they've always supported zoned its own to the north.)

3. He's perceived as the main impediment to their long-known ambition to take over and rule Lagos.

4. Read number 1 again. ( which is why they don't have any issue with Atiku winning the next presidential election)

5. He had the balls to put Nnamdi Kanu and Ekpa where they actually belong. (The icing on the cake)

It has never been about leadership or good governance.

AMINDA:
Lol. Pathetic. Stop the gaslighting. Asking the president of a country to release his records that has long been the subject of false claims, suspicion and litigation is not hatred. It's accountability.

Obasanjo was a Yoruba. Did Tinubu support him all through the duration of his 8-year tenure? Today, he's blackmailing Seyi Makinde and Adeleke and coercing them to support him because he is a Yoruba man. A Yoruba man that was rejected by his own people in Lagos and Osun. Did Tinubu not get more votes (5.6m) in the North than he got in the South?

dgee1:
Every remotely objective Nairalander knows that your obsession with Tinubu/Yoruba/APC matters has completely overwhelmed your ability to reason objectively. So debating you is therefore a complete waste of time.

I’ll leave you to your fixation. But please don’t ever quote me again. (One more and you’re blocked.)

dgee1:
Read your moniker again. Who needs to be cured of real "jealousy", hatred and bitterness now?

AMINDA:
Don't worry, I have saved you the stress and gone ahead to block you instead.

Yorubasarecurse:
I never knew that jealousy is so real until I opened this thread. How can people be this myopic all because their tiny god tinubu is in the hot seat.
