PFIPC: ADC Dismisses ICPC Report as Predictable, Says FG More Interested in Damage Control than Investigation

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed the interim report of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on the alleged fake Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) as predictable and inadequate, accusing the federal government of prioritising damage control over a thorough investigation.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC said the report failed to explain how a fictitious agency allegedly secured federal office space, had civil servants deployed to it and found its way into the 2026 budget with a N1.3 billion provision, even as the investigation reportedly uncovered two other fictitious organisations linked to the principal suspect.

The ADC said it had reviewed sections of the interim report of the ICPC that have been made public regarding the so-called PFIPC.
