Billions On The Line: Senate Declares Emergency Session To Probe Controversial PFIPC Funding.
When plenary resumes on Tuesday, the Senate is expected to formally address the growing controversy surrounding a ₦1.3 billion allocation granted to the disputed Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) within the 2026 Appropriation Act.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Bypassed Oversight: According to reports from Punch, this multi-billion naira allocation secured approval despite the fact that no representative from the council ever appeared before the Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service to defend the budget.
-
The “Backdoor” Insertion: A National Assembly insider revealed that the ₦1.3 billion entry was slipped into the budget via a backdoor arrangement. Rather than being scrutinized as a standalone item, it was bundled collectively with other direct submissions from the Presidency, effectively escaping standard legislative defense and oversight.
Systemic Lapses and Forgery Allegations
Sources within both the Presidency and the civil service indicate that the scandal could have been averted if basic administrative checks had not failed across multiple institutions, specifically pointing to lapses at the Budget Office, the House of Representatives, and Civil Service Headquarters.
-
Falsified Credentials: An appointment letter bearing a forged signature of the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, was reportedly accepted at the Civil Service Headquarters without adequate verification.
-
An Illusion of Legitimacy: This unverified document enabled Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Mathew to establish an office at the Federal Secretariat Complex in Abuja, allowing the disputed agency to maintain an appearance of official government legitimacy for over a year.
-
Widespread Consequences: The failure to properly vet the appointment letter ultimately created a ripple effect, misleading government ministries, diplomatic missions, the National Assembly, and private individuals alike.
Upcoming Legislative Action
The Senate leadership intends to confront the issue head-on during Tuesday’s session to restore transparency and clear the air regarding any potential oversight failures.
“I understand the Senate leadership will address the controversy on Tuesday to douse the growing tension and alleged complicity by any of its presiding officers,” a National Assembly official stated.
-
Clearing the Air: Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has once again denied allegations that he previously labeled Tinubu an illegitimate president during his time in the opposition.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
-
Pointing Fingers: Speaking on the KAA TRUTHS podcast, Bwala clarified that activist Aisha Yesufu was the actual person who made those remarks, maintaining that he never uttered such a statement.
-
Legal Finality: Bwala criticized Yesufu’s ongoing refusal to accept the validity of Tinubu’s presidency, arguing that once an electoral dispute reaches a final and binding verdict at the Supreme Court, all parties are obligated to respect it.
-
Challenging the Critics: Challenging anyone to produce proof of his alleged past comments, Bwala emphasized that even opposition figures like Kenneth Okonkwo did not call the President illegitimate, dismissing Yesufu’s stance as a sign of legal ignorance.

-
