The Kwankwasiyya Movement has called for a full investigation into the controversy surrounding the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), arguing that the issue has gone beyond the conduct of an individual and now raises fundamental questions about accountability in the Federal Government.
In a statement issued on Saturday in Kano, Habibu Sale Mohammed, spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, urged the Presidency to provide a comprehensive explanation of reports that more than N1 billion was appropriated in the 2026 national budget for the PFIPC despite official claims that the council does not exist.
The movement said the conflicting claims by the Presidency and reports of a budgetary allocation for the council have created serious concerns about transparency in government.
According to the statement, if the council was never established, Nigerians deserve to know how it found its way into the 2026 Appropriation Act, who initiated and approved the allocation, the government offices that processed the documentation, and whether any public funds were released or committed to the project.
It also questioned how allegedly forged official documents could have been used over an extended period without being detected by the relevant authorities.
