Fake Agency Scandal: Adeyemi says he did not prepare budget included in 2026 Appropriation Act

The controversial Director-General of the disowned Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, has denied preparing the council’s budget that was included in the 2026 Appropriation Act.

Speaking with social media influencer and activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, Mr Adeyemi said he was in police detention during the period the budget was being processed.

He insisted that neither he nor anyone acting on his behalf participated in the budget preparation or defence process.
