Temitope Ajayi, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Information and Public Affairs, has acknowledged that it is difficult to rule out the involvement of internal figures in the ongoing controversy surrounding a counterfeit government agency.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The scandal centers on serious corruption allegations involving the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, and an individual named Prince Mathew Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to lead the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).

As previously highlighted by DAILY POST, this situation has sparked intense scrutiny regarding the integrity and accountability of the Tinubu administration. Prince Adeyemi has alleged that the fictitious PFIPC managed to secure budgetary allocations in the 2026 fiscal year and successfully opened several official accounts—including a Domiciliary Account, a Pounds Sterling account, and a Treasury Single Account (TSA)—with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Furthermore, Adeyemi has accused the Chief of Staff of facilitating his fraudulent appointment for a total of N600 million, claiming that N400 million was paid via proxies, leaving an outstanding balance of N200 million.

Addressing the possibility of internal collaboration, Ajayi pointed to the sheer brazenness of the operation as a red flag:

“Well, it’s not impossible, because even the audacity to go and operate inside the government federal secretariat is enough to suggest anything could have gone at some point”.

Ajayi expressed confusion over how the suspect obtained a falsified appointment letter attributed to the Chief of Staff, emphasizing that presidential appointments remain the exclusive prerogative of the President.

Dr. Taofiq Raimi, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, has come to the defense of the Presidency concerning the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) controversy. During an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Friday, Raimi argued that it is unfair to blame the Presidency for the incident, noting that even advanced nations are susceptible to sophisticated crimes. He drew a comparison to the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States to illustrate his point that complex criminal activities can bypass security measures anywhere in the world. The controversy involves an individual named Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew, who allegedly impersonated the leader of the PFIPC—a council the Presidency maintains does not exist.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to a recent report by Intersociety, violence by jihadists resulted in an estimated 3,550 deaths and 3,950 total abductions across Nigeria in the first half of 2026.

The organization sharply criticized the Nigerian government, describing its failure to address these security challenges as a “clear case of self-indictment” and evidence of its inability to protect citizens. Intersociety also detailed specific incidents, including the targeted killing of Christian clerics and attacks on non-Fulani Muslim civilians in states such as Zamfara, Kaduna, and Sokoto.
