ABUJA— PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, to conduct a thorough investigation into the activities of a “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council” (PFIPC) and all related matters.
The President directed that the investigation be concluded and a comprehensive report submitted to him within 30 days.
A statement by the presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, stated that the directive was occasioned by the discovery of the alleged fictitious PFIPC, which it said was never established by the Federal Government of Nigeria and has no basis in any law, presidential instrument, executive approval, or other lawful act of Government.
According to the statement: “One Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew presented himself as the Director-General of the so-called PFIPC and falsely claimed to be a presidential appointee.”
