The controversial Director-General of the disowned Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, has softened his earlier position on the alleged involvement of the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, in issuing him the ‘appointment letter’ for the now-disowned agency.

Speaking with social media influencer and activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, Mr Adeyemi said he could not say for certain whether Mr Gbajabiamila was involved or not.

According to him, he spoke with Mr Gbajabiamila on the phone through the late Dolapo Tanimola, whom he claimed helped him get the appointment letter, but couldn’t confirm if it was indeed the president’s chief of staff he spoke to.

Mr Tanimola reportedly died on admission at the National Hospital on 22 October 2025, following a fire incident at Kachi Hotel in Abuja, the police investigation report said.
