Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Timi Frank, has called for greater transparency and accountability over the activities of the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, urging relevant government institutions to provide comprehensive explanations to Nigerians.
Frank’s demand comes amid an escalating controversy over the purported government agency and conflicting claims between the Presidency and the man who has presented himself as its Director-General, Adeniyi Adeyemi.
The controversy intensified after the presidency, through a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, sought to clarify public concerns surrounding the PFIPC and dismissed allegations linking the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, to the matter.
According to the presidency, Adeyemi is not the Director-General of any government agency but an impostor currently facing criminal prosecution over allegations of forgery and impersonation.
The statement said police investigations revealed that Adeyemi allegedly forged a presidential appointment letter purportedly signed by Gbajabiamila, operated a fictitious government agency and maintained 34 bank accounts, including nine allegedly opened in the names of non-existent government institutions.
