The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has narrated how he unknowingly met with the Director-General of the fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, Adeniyi Adeyemi.
The Abia State-born politician stated that he met with Adeyemi in his office after receiving what appeared to be an official letter bearing the Presidency’s insignia.
Speaking during Wednesday’s plenary in support of a motion seeking an investigation into the activities of the alleged council, Kalu said he was among those deceived by the group’s claims of legitimacy.
“I rise this morning to support the motion that has been properly moved by my friend and brother from Plateau State. It is quite embarrassing that people have the kind of boldness exhibited, moving around with what is not in existence, carrying themselves as if they are a legal entity,” he said.
