WASHINGTON, D.C. — The multi-billion naira Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) scandal has officially penetrated the highest corridors of American legislative power.
In a major development, Dr. Karl Von Batten, Managing Partner of the Washington-based advocacy firm Von Batten-Montague-York, has formally briefed United States Congressman Ronny Jackson on the unfolding crisis. The move aims to trigger a sweeping U.S. congressional investigation into allegations that American taxpayer funds are being systematically diverted by top officials in the administration of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu.
Congressman Ronny Jackson Takes the Reeds
Representative Ronny Jackson, a high-profile Texas Republican, former White House Physician, and staunch ally of President Donald Trump, was fully briefed on the matter.
According to Dr. Von Batten, the briefing focused extensively on the structural fraud allegations surrounding the PFIPC and the reported role of the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
“President Donald Trump was correct: U.S. taxpayer funds are being stolen by corrupt foreign governments. Today I briefed the amazing Congressman Ronny Jackson regarding the alleged fake Nigerian presidential agency that, according to the allegations, was orchestrated by Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila.”
The Financial Catalyst: Following the World Bank Money Trail
The sudden intervention of the U.S. government stems directly from how Nigeria’s national budget is structured. Dr. Von Batten confirmed that his firm has officially dragged both the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the World Bank Group into the crossfire.
- The U.S. Stakeholder Clout: The United States stands as the single largest financial shareholder in the World Bank Group.
- The Budget Contradiction: While the Nigerian Presidency disowned the PFIPC as a fictitious entity, the agency was successfully allocated a whopping ₦1.302 billion in the 2026 National Budget.
- The Core Complaint: Because Nigeria’s national budget incorporates international funding associated with World Bank loans, U.S. advocates argue that any internal budgeting fraud directly compromises American taxpayer dollars, giving Washington full jurisdictional rights to audit the funds.
To ensure an aggressive push, Von Batten announced that he has assigned a dedicated associate to devote 100% of her operational hours strictly to tracking this Nigerian corruption probe.
The “45% Budget Shakedown” Allegation
The formal brief provided to Congressman Jackson outlines a highly predatory scheme within the presidential villa. According to the dynamic presented by the lobbying firm:
- The Architecture: The agency was allegedly structured with the knowledge of high-ranking insiders, securing physical space at the Federal Secretariat and central bank accounts.
- The Fallout: The Chief of Staff reportedly turned against the council’s Director-General, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, only after Adeyemi adamantly refused to surrender a 45% kickback out of the agency’s multi-billion naira budgetary allocation.
- The Retaliation: The subsequent branding of the agency as a complete forgery and the deployment of security forces to arrest Adeyemi are being framed to U.S. lawmakers as state-sponsored retaliation to cover up the initial extortion attempt.
Next Steps: A Bipartisan Congressional Showdown
The strategy to bypass local Nigerian investigation channels—which Adeyemi previously rejected as incapable of indicting top presidency officials—is moving at lightning speed in Washington.
Von Batten-Montague-York confirmed they are establishing direct channels with Adeyemi’s Nigerian legal defense team to secure a comprehensive, legally binding sworn affidavit detailing the full scope of the extortion.
Once signed and processed, the firm plans to distribute the affidavit to every single Republican and Democratic member of the United States Congress. By converting a domestic Nigerian bribery scandal into a bipartisan American accountability issue, the firm is systematically ensuring that the Tinubu administration faces unprecedented pressure from the Capitol.
