Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to be the Director-General of the disputed Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), has declared that he is ready to defend himself in court amid allegations by the Presidency that he forged official documents and impersonated a government official.
Adeyemi made the declaration during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, as the controversy surrounding the existence of the council and his appointment continued to deepen.
Asked whether he was prepared to face prosecution, Adeyemi said, “Definitely, sir. If I’m wrong, let the court of law do that, and if I’m right, let the court of law do that; do the right thing.”
He rejected allegations by the Presidency that he is a con artist, insisting that the matter should be resolved through the courts.
“Since the matter is in the court, let the court of competent jurisdiction vindicate me because I’m ready to clear my name,” he said.
