Allegations of Fraud Surround Presidential Council Leader

Adeniyi Adeyemi has claimed to be the president of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), but this organization is not recognized by the Federal Government of Nigeria, as confirmed by a letter from the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council dated October 21, 2025. The letter states that the PFIPC operates without legal authority and is considered fraudulent.

Adeyemi's claims include receiving N400 million upfront and an outstanding N200 million for a supposed appointment, which he alleges was linked to a demand for 48% of N27.39 billion in grants. His media campaign has raised suspicions, particularly after reports of impersonation and previous controversies involving his claims.

The Chief of Staff to the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Femi Gbajabiamila's office have reportedly taken action against impersonators, further complicating Adeyemi's situation. The article emphasizes the need for scrutiny regarding Adeyemi's legitimacy and the financial transactions he claims to have made.
