Gbajabiamila: ‘Adeyemi Has Collaborators Within And Outside Govt’- APC Chieftain

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ayekooto Akindele, has called for a thorough investigation into the controversy surrounding the alleged formation of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).

The call followed allegations made by the self-acclaimed Director General of the PFIPC, Adeniyi Adeyemi, against the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila.

Naija News reports that the Presidency had earlier disowned the agency and Adeyemi.

Reacting in a statement on his 𝕏 handle on Friday, Akindele said the controversy could not have happened without collaborators within and outside government.

“One thing is clear, Prince Adeniyi has collaborators within and outside the government,” he wrote.

Akindele called on relevant authorities to investigate top government offices and agencies allegedly linked to the controversy.

He said, “Now, we know one Mimi Abu, who is the Director in the Head of Service of the Federation office, signed an approval letter on behalf of the Head of Service to employ staff for a non-existent government agency.

“By now, the DG Budget who prepared the 2026 National budget should tell us why he allocated money to a non-existent presidential council, CBN Governor, and Accountant General of the Federation should tell us the documents they relied on to open accounts for Mr Mathew Adeniyi.

“How come the Nigerian Police gave Mr Matthew Adeyemi orderly and police protection throughout his scam activities.

“Civil Servants in SGF and Head of Service offices who gave him office keys in the Federal Secretariat must tell us on whose instruction they acted.”

Adeyemi had, during an interview on Channels Television on Thursday night, insisted that his appointment was legitimate. He also alleged that the Chief of Staff was aware of his activities.

Akindele maintained that only a detailed investigation would expose those behind the alleged operation.
