I borrowed N400m to secure PFIPC appointment – ‘Fake’ DG Adeyemi

Director-General of the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, has claimed that the N400 million he allegedly paid to obtain his appointment letter was borrowed and that those who provided the funds have petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to recover their money.

In a more detailed statement released on July 1, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said police investigations revealed that Adeyemi allegedly forged a presidential appointment letter purportedly signed by Gbajabiamila, operated a non-existent government agency and maintained 34 bank accounts, including nine allegedly opened in the names of fictitious government institutions.

Adeyemi made the disclosure during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, weeks after accusing the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, of receiving the money through an intermediary to facilitate his appointment.
