A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Kenneth Okonkwo, has criticised the National Assembly over its handling of the investigation into the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council scandal.
Okonkwo accused the lawmakers of failing to interrogate President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, and the purported Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, Adeniyi Adeyemi.
In a post on X on Saturday, the former Nollywood actor described the reported conclusion of the investigation without hearing from the two men as a violation of the principles of natural justice.
“The purported conclusion of investigation of the criminality of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) without interrogating Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, the DG of the agency, or Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff of the President, is a rape of justice and a caricature of the independence of the legislature,” he wrote.
