Tinubu's Aide Claims Internal Collaborators in Scandal

Temitope Ajayi, serving as a senior special assistant to President Bola Tinubu, addressed the ongoing scandal involving the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). He asserted that it is impossible to deny the presence of internal collaborators in the allegations of corruption.

The scandal has raised significant concerns regarding transparency and accountability within the Tinubu administration. Allegations have surfaced against Mathew Adeniyi Adeyemi, who is purportedly the director-general of the PFIPC, claiming he received budgetary allocations for the 2026 budget and established a domiciliary account in pounds sterling.

Ajayi mentioned that Adeyemi is accused of fraudulently securing the appointment of Femi Gbajabiamila as chief of staff, with claims of N600 million being involved, including N400 million allegedly paid to proxies and an outstanding balance of N200 million. Ajayi emphasized that the audacity of such actions suggests a deeper issue within the federal government.
