The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, the leadership of ADC, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NCN) and the Civil Liberty Organisations (CSOs), human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana and the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to thoroughly investigate the controversy surrounding the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), where the names of the President’s Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila and others were mentioned.
In swift reaction, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Temitope Ajayi, yesterday accused one Prince Matthew Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to be the Director General of PFIPC, of exploiting public perception by using corruption allegations to divert attention from investigations into his alleged criminal activities.
