The House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) has raised concerns over documents that allegedly listed President Bola Tinubu and several senior government officials as members of the organisation’s governing board.
Yusuf Gagdi, chairman of the committee, disclosed this on Thursday during an investigative hearing where lawmakers questioned Shehu Mohammed, Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), over the issuance of seven vehicle number plates to the PFIPC.
The lawmakers were particularly concerned about why the FRSC approved the number plates despite apparent irregularities in documents submitted by the organisation.
Gagdi said the purported PFIPC governing board included Tinubu; George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation; Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory; the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation; the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria; the Attorney-General of the Federation; and the ministers of finance, aviation, agriculture and food security, interior, budget and national planning, marine and blue economy, police affairs, transport, works and power.
