Von Batten’s White House Commission Clarified | Nigeria News

A big deal was made when lobbyist Karl Von Batten, working for Atiku, boasted on social media about a White House commission appointment by Trump — but it turns out it’s just an education panel, not a top-tier policy role. The post is now gone, and Tinubu’s media team clarified that the commission has nothing to do with foreign policy or security. Von Batten’s firm was hired to boost Atiku’s U.S. profile, including pushing for U.S. law enforcement records related to Tinubu. The hype may have been overblown — a reminder to always dig deeper before believing the headlines. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
