Presidency Dismisses Bribery Claims Against Gbajabiamila

The Presidency has reacted to bribery allegations against Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President, made by Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims Gbajabiamila demanded N27,395,510,136 from a grant agency and received N400 million as an intermediary. Adeyemi, identified as the Director General of the fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, has been accused of operating a non-existent government agency.

The Presidency, through Special Adviser Bayo Onanuga, stated that Adeyemi's claims lack merit and that he is posing as the head of a fictitious agency. The allegations include demands for funds and a request for an independent panel to investigate the claims.

The Chief of Staff's office has requested a thorough investigation into the activities of Adeyemi and others involved in the alleged forgery of official documents. The allegations have drawn attention from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which sought clarification on Adeyemi's claims and activities.
