The Director General of the fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, Mathew Adeniyi Adeyemi, has denied ever sitting down face-to-face with Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila.

Speaking from an undisclosed location to social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkBlackMan (VDM), the embattled Adeyemi said he was in no position to confirm or rule out Gbajabiamila’s involvement in the scandal engulfing the PFIPC.

His denial comes roughly 72 hours after Gbajabiamila’s legal team, Kemi Pinheiro, threatened him with legal action over the claims made against the Chief of Staff.

Early in the 16 minutes 26 seconds video of their exchange, obtained on Tuesday, VDM explained that Adeyemi had phoned him first, and he returned the call once he realized who was on the line.Opening the interview, VDM asked, “Let’s start with this: did you at any point in time meet with Femi Gbaja one-on-one to discuss this whole thing?”
