A group, Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education (CHRICED), has called for the immediate suspension of the Chief of Staff (CoS) to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, over his alleged links to the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).
The group also dismissed the ongoing House of Representatives investigation into the matter, describing it as a distraction unlikely to yield any meaningful outcome.
Addressing a press conference on the state of the nation in Abuja on Tuesday, the Executive Director of CHRICED, Ibrahim Zikirullahi, said no credible investigation can be conducted while Mr Gbajabiamila remains in office.
An ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives is currently probing the circumstances surrounding the establishment and operations of the PFIPC following allegations that the council fraudulently obtained official government recognition through forged documents and subsequently secured government patronage and public funds.
