Who smuggled N1.3bn into PFIPC budget?
Paul Ibe, media aide to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has asked the presidency to provide answers to three key questions regarding the allegation leveled against President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
DAILY POST recalls that an acclaimed Director General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, Adeniyi Matthew recently accused Gbajabiamila of involvement in alleged appointment-for-cash scandal.
Matthew alleged that Gbajabiamila demanded N27.4bn from the take-off grant of a purported agency and collected N400m, through proxies, to secure his appointment as director-general of the agency.
But the presidency, in an official statement on Wednesday by Bayo Onanuga, denied the claim, stating that the accuser and the purported agency is unknown to the government.
However, according to Ibe, the detailed statement failed to address some key questions regarding the allegation and the council.
Atiku’s media aide questioned how the alleged unknown agency got N1.3 billion in the 2026 budget.
In a post on his official X handle, Ibe said though Onanuga has “said so much, but we want answers to the following:
“Who smuggled N1.3 billion for Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi’s Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) in the 2026 Budget? (See attached).
“Did Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila receive N400 million alleged bribe from Adeyemi?
“Don’t you think that your Presidency gives itself away as one big scam if an individual can easily secure office space from the Federal Secretariat for the purposes of the “scam” PFIPC operations?”
