The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the inclusion of N1.3 billion for the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) in the 2026 Appropriation Act.
The lower legislative chamber passed the resolution following the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Yusuf Gagdi, chairman of the committee on navy.
BACKGROUND
The PFIPC has been dogged by controversy over the N1.3 billion budgetary allocation for the council in the 2026 budget.
On June 11, Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu, issued a public disclaimer disowning the appointment of Adeniyi Adeyemi as the head of the council.
The former speaker of the house of representatives said such an office “does not exist” under Tinubu’s government, and no appointment has been made in that regard.
But Adeyemi rejected Gbajabiamila’s claim, describing it as a glaring contradiction in official government records.
