Who Is In Control? Mystery PFIPC Sign Stays Firm At Federal Secretariat After Presidency Rejection!.

Despite the Presidency’s explicit denial of the existence of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), signage directing visitors to its offices remains displayed at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja. A visit to the administrative hub on Monday confirmed that this signage, which is positioned on the floor occupied by the Federal Ministry of Health and also references the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, has not been removed.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The controversy surrounding the PFIPC involves several key points:

• Operational Status: Although the Presidency maintains the council was not created by the Tinubu administration, the body reportedly functioned as a government agency, complete with an office at the Federal Secretariat, recruitment approvals, and a budgetary allocation.

• Budgetary and Recruitment Disputes: The 2026 Appropriation Act lists the combined council—the Presidential Economic Advisory Council/Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council—under the Presidency with an allocation of ₦1.302 billion. Furthermore, reports indicate that the government previously granted the council a waiver to recruit 300 staff members in August 2025.

• Conflicting Official Statements: Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila stated that his office did not appoint Adeniyi Adeyemi to lead the PFIPC, and the Presidency has accused Adeyemi of forging appointment documents and falsely claiming presidential affiliation.

• Legal Developments: Adeyemi has challenged the government’s disclaimer, urging the President to establish an independent investigative panel to address the contradictions regarding the council’s existence and its presence in the budget. Meanwhile, the police have filed an eight-count charge against Adeyemi and two other individuals who remain at large.
