Temitope Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Public Affairs, has said it is impossible to deny internal collaborators in the fake agency scandal.
There are currently allegations of corruption involving Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President and one Prince Mathew Adeniyi Adeyemi.
Adeyemi purports to be the Director-General of the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC.
As DAILY POST earlier reported, the scandal has raised critical concerns about the transparency, accountability, and integrity of the Tinubu administration.
As per the allegations made by Prince Adeyemi, the PFIPC received budgetary allocations in the 2026 budget and successfully established a Domiciliary Account, a Pounds Sterling Account, and a Treasury Single Account (TSA), all held with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Adeyemi claimed that he fraudulently secured his appointment through the Chief of Staff for the sum of N600 million, with N400 million allegedly paid through proxies to the Chief of Staff, with a balance of N200 million outstanding.
Asked if he suspects there are internal collaborators, the presidential aide said, “Well, it’s not impossible, because even the audacity to go and operate inside the government federal secretariat is enough to suggest anything could have gone at some point.
“We don’t know how he was able to get a forged letter of appointment by the Chief of staff to the president.
“We all know appointments into agencies or extra ministerial positions are done by the president exclusively.”
