The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has said Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, is a whistleblower rather than a suspect in the scandal surrounding a fake Federal Government agency, Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (
PFIPC.
The Forum made the claim while backing the clarifications made by the Presidency through the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The Presidency outlined how Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi allegedly orchestrated an elaborate scam by forging official documents, creating a non-existent government agency, securing unauthorised office space at the Federal Secretariat, and engaging in activities that undermined established government institutions and diplomatic protocols.
In a statement by its National President, Alhaji Mohammed Aliyu, AYCF, the youth group said Gbajabiamila took a swift action in alerting security agencies upon discovering suspicious activities regarding the agency, thereby safeguarding the integrity and reputation of the Presidency.
AYCF noted that, according to the Presidency, Gbajabiamila first raised the alarm on October 17, 2025, through a formal letter to the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force, following complaints from officials of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council, NIPC, about an entity operating at cross-purposes with it.
It pointed out that the Chief of Staff reportedly provided evidence including forged appointment letters bearing falsified signatures, seals, and reference numbers.
“We commend the Chief of Staff for his vigilance and proactive steps right from October 2025 when he reported the matter to the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Police.
