"Bell Pottinger lists the late Nigerian president Yar’Adua among its former clients. The firm advised him during the time when the 2007 presidential elections took place – elections which went on to be widely condemned as flawed and violent by international observers and NGOs.

Chief EU observer Max van den Berg said the elections had ‘fallen far short’ of basic international standards. Leaked US diplomatic cables alleged the late president may have handed out bribes to ensure the outcome of the election. There is no suggestion Bell Pottinger had any knowledge of such matters."
