‘I Find It Strange’ – Deployed Staff Exposes What Goes On Inside ‘Non-existent’ Presidential Council Office

Three senior civil servants deployed to the disputed Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) have told investigators that they resumed at the agency’s office in the Federal Secretariat, Abuja, but were not assigned any duties.

The workers, deployed from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), were questioned by police investigators and listed as witnesses in the forgery and impersonation case filed against Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claimed to be the Director-General of the council.

The Federal Government has denied creating the PFIPC or appointing Adeyemi to head it.

Adeyemi, however, has denied allegations of forgery and impersonation, insisting that he will prove his innocence in court.

According to Premium Times, court documents showed that Adeyemi allegedly wrote to the Accountant-General of the Federation on April 4, 2025, requesting the deployment of accounting and audit staff to the council.

The requested positions included Principal Accountant, Accountant I, Principal Auditor, Senior Auditor and Auditor I.

At least three civil servants were later posted to the agency on August 28, 2025, according to a posting letter published on the OAGF website.

They were identified as Ojo Victor, 55, an Assistant Chief Accountant; Omeh Amarachukwu, 40, an internal auditor; and Wakili Saidu, 45, an officer in the audit department.

In separate statements written at the police headquarters on November 10, 2025, the three officials said they reported to Adeyemi on September 1 with their posting letters.

They said Adeyemi received the letters and asked them to resume work on September 8.

When they resumed, they were reportedly given an open office to share but were not documented, assigned duties or given any schedule of work.

“We are three officers posted at the same time, and when we resumed on 8 September, the three of us were given an open office that the three of us were sitting down without doing anything,” Victor said.

He added, “I have not been documented, and no schedule has been given to me since my assumption, which I find very strange.”

Saidu also stated, “Since then, there has been no correspondence between me and the DG.”

The civil servants said they had never heard of the PFIPC before they were posted there.

“I have never heard of that agency until I saw my name posted to the agency,” Saidu said.

Victor also said, “I have not heard about the organisation before until my posting introduction came out on 28 August 2025.”

Amarachukwu said the lack of work made him report to the office only once a week.

“I only go to work once in a week, the reason being that we have nothing doing since we were posted there,” he said.

Victor said he also reported once or twice weekly “just to show our face in the office because there was no assignment or schedule.”

Saidu said he reported three times a week — Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The Federal Government has filed an eight-count charge of forgery and impersonation against Adeyemi before the Federal High Court.

Police alleged that he forged appointment letters, approval letters and official letterheads to present himself as head of the PFIPC.

Investigators also alleged that some of the forged documents were used to request the deployment of accountants and auditors from the OAGF.

Adeyemi has denied wrongdoing and accused the Presidency of trying to silence him.
