Respectfully there is no evidence from any credible source that Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya has been hired to lead Governor Seyi Makinde’s presidential campaign legal team. The story appears to be fabricated.

What credible sources actually say about Natalia Veselnitskaya
She is a Russian lawyer known for representing clients linked to the Russian government and for her involvement in the 2016 Trump Tower meeting.

She has been indicted in the United States for obstruction of justice related to a money‑laundering investigation.

She has never been described by reputable sources as:

“The most dangerous lawyer in the world,”

A lawyer who has never lost a case,” or

“Special adviser to President Putin.”

These claims do not appear in any verified reporting.

No evidence she is involved with Seyi Makinde
A search of credible news outlets, political reports, and public records shows zero connection between Veselnitskaya and:

Seyi Makinde

Any Nigerian political campaign

Any presidential legal team in Nigeria

No Nigerian or international news platform has reported such a development.

Why the viral claim is suspicious
The story contains several red flags typical of misinformation:

Sensational language (“most dangerous lawyer”, “never lost a case”)

No verifiable source or publication

Claims inconsistent with her known legal troubles

Attempts to link unrelated political figures across countries

Conclusion
The claim is false and appears to be fabricated misinformation.
Always verify political claims with trusted news sources, especially during election seasons.
