According to the ADC, "Rather than provide answers to the raging questions on this scandal, the statement has instead left more questions."
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has attacked President Bola Tinubu's administration over the controversy surrounding the alleged “non-existent” Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), accusing the Presidency of presiding over what it described as "a nest of fraudsters."
The opposition party, in a statement issued on Friday, by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, demanded an independent judicial inquiry into the scandal.
The ADC noted that the allegations surrounding the PFIPC and claims of bribery involving the President's Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, go beyond individual wrongdoing and strike at the core of Nigeria's governance and institutional integrity.
The party said it has reviewed the Presidency's July 1 response to the controversy, issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, but maintained that the government's explanation raised more questions than answers.
