PDP Slams Tinubu Govt Over ‘Shameful’ $9m U.S. Lobbying Deal, Says Citizens Need Protection—Not PR
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the Tinubu-led Federal Government over a reported $9 million contract with U.S. lobbying firm, DCI Group, aimed at influencing the Trump administration and U.S. lawmakers on Nigeria’s insecurity challenges.
The deal, allegedly facilitated through Aster Legal, is said to focus on convincing U.S. authorities that Nigeria is taking concrete steps to curb insecurity, particularly the killings of Christians in the northern region.
In a statement dated Wednesday, January 14, 2026, and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, the PDP described the contract as “defective and deceptive,” arguing that the government should prioritise protecting lives at home rather than spending millions on foreign image management.
Question: Should Nigeria be paying $9 million for lobbying abroad while citizens remain unsafe at home?
