“Our $9 Million Lobbying Payment Is Useless Now After Kaduna Kidnappings” — Uche Rochas Blasts Govt’s Failed Image Campaign

According To Our Reporter, ADC leader Uche Rochas has slammed the Nigerian government’s $9 million payment to U.S. lobbyists as pointless in light of the recent mass abduction of Christian worshippers in Kurmin Wali, Kaduna State. Watch full report

Posting on his verified X account, Rochas said the lobbying effort intended to improve Nigeria’s image abroad after military actions ordered by former President Trump has been completely undermined by ongoing security failures.

“Our $9 million propaganda payment to American lobbyists has expired,” he declared, highlighting how local violence and kidnappings continue to erode trust and safety despite costly international campaigns.

Rochas’ statement sparks renewed calls for urgent government action to protect citizens and prioritize real security over image polishing amid Nigeria’s worsening insurgency crisis.
