ABUJA — THE brewing storm over the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, took a dramatic turn, yesterday, as the embattled Director-General of the council, Adeniyi Adeyemi, declared his readiness to cooperate fully with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC to unravel how the “ghost” agency secured a whopping N1.3 billion allocation in the 2026 budget.

Adeyemi’s declaration came on the heels of a 30-day ultimatum issued by President Bola Tinubu to the ICPC to investigate the council, which the Presidency insisted is non-existent and completely fraudulent.
