The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hired a top US lobbyist for its Presidential candidate, Mr Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2019 Presidential elections.

Privy information made available to MERIDIAN SPY has it that Brian Ballard, a top US lobbyist, has been hired by the PDP ahead of the 2019 elections.

Ballard, is a very influential lobbyist in the United States; who reportedly has President Donald Trump as one of his clients.

Politico Magazine, a top publication in the US, says Ballard is closer to the US president than perhaps any other lobbyist in the country.

To seal up the deal, Mr Atiku has disbursed the sum of N400m for Ballard and his team.

A time frame of November 2018 and January 2019 has been agreed on by both parties for the deal to sealed up completely.

Hence, all things being equal, Mr Atiku would be granted visa to the US any time soon in order to score political points against the ruling party, APC, that has accused him of being banned from America on some corruption allegations.

The Director-General of the Atiku campaign organization, Mr Gbenga Daniel had said on Monday that there were signals from the US – calling his principal to come over for visa.

  • Jilli Airstrike: Supporters Of Terrorists Will Be Treated As Bandits, Defence Minister Warns Defence Minister Christopher Musa has warned that supporters of terrorists would be treated as criminals. He said this on Monday as he reacted to the airstrike carried out by the Nigerian Air Force airstrike in Jilli, Borno State, over the weekend. Speaking after an expanded security meeting in Kaduna with the state governor and heads of security agencies, Musa said the operation sends a clear message to those collaborating with terrorist groups. He stressed that anyone found supporting insurgents would face the same consequences as the perpetrators. “A friend of a thief is a thief,” he said, warning civilians against associating with or providing any form of assistance to terrorists. Musa urged residents to steer clear of areas known to be used by insurgents, noting that proximity or collaboration could have grave consequences. The airstrike, carried out near the village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area, targeted what the military described as an ISWAP enclave and logistics hub. According to the Nigerian Air Force, the operation was intelligence-driven and aimed at neutralising terror elements and destroying their equipment. However, reports have emerged alleging that the strike may have affected a weekly market in the area, with civilians, including cross-border traders, reportedly among casualties. Musa, however, maintained that the strike should serve as a strong warning to those aiding insurgent activities, reaffirming the military’s resolve to intensify operations against terrorist networks. Air Component of Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI, conducted a precision air strike on a known terrorist enclave and logistics hub located near the abandoned village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State. Giving an update on the airstrike, the Nigerian Army in a post on its official X handle said, “The successful strike, executed on 11 April 2026, followed sustained intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions over the Bindul–Jilli axis, an area long identified as a major terrorist movement corridor and convergence point for Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists and their collaborators.”
