• ‘Gbaja should be suspended, the Presidency cannot investigate itself’
By Gabriel Ewepu
The controversy over alleged fake agency, Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, said to have been facilitated by Matthew Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claimed assistance from the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, has deepened as several CSOs and lawyers rejected the directive by President Bola Tinubu to the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to investigate the matter and come up with a report within 30 days.
Some of the civil society organizations and lawyers wanted Tinubu to suspend Gbajabiamila from office to engender unfettered investigation of the allegations.
“If he (Gbajabiamiala) was placed on suspension, ICPC can be independent”, one of them said.
