THE PFIPC EXTRAVAGANZA: Prince Adeyemi Drops Stunners on Gbajabiamila, Exposes ₦27 Billion Demands, and Blows Open ₦1.3 Billion Hidden Line in 2026 Budget

ABUJA, NIGERIA — The political landscape of Nigeria has been fundamentally shaken following a high-stakes, no-holds-barred world press conference delivered by the driver of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew.

​The press briefing served as a direct, aggressive counter-strike against a formal disclaimer published on June 11, 2026, by the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, who categorically denied any presidency link to the PFIPC or the Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC). Rejecting the narrative with a defiant vow—"I will rather die as a MAN than to live as a COWARD !!!"—Prince Adeyemi completely blew the lid off the controversy by producing a multi-agency trail of verified federal documents.

​The 2026 Budgetary Smoking Gun: ₦1.3 Billion Hidden in Plain Sight

​To systematically dismantle Gbajabiamila's claim that the agency lacks any official existence, Prince Adeyemi pointed directly to the official paperwork of the 2026 FGN Appropriation Bill (Details) under the Presidency portfolio. As explicitly captured in the national state budget sheet referenced in 1004187697_2.jpg, Item 18 (Code 0111062001) clearly lists an allocation for the "Presidential Economic Advisory Council/Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council" with an approved total funding allocation of ₦1,302,978,784.

​Adeyemi highlighted the terrifying systemic implications this poses for Nigeria's institutional integrity. If the presidency claims the agency is entirely fabricated, it means a non-existent body successfully breached the national budget framework.

​"If the agency does not exist, yet found its way into the Nigerian national budget, what that means is that the entire 2026 appropriation budget is a fraud," Adeyemi asserted. "Are they telling us that the Central Bank Governor, the Accountant General of the Federation, and the 109 Senators who scrutinized this document are completely clueless? How can you open domiciliary, pound, and Treasury Single Accounts (TSA) with the CBN using fictitious paperwork?"

​Sensational Corruption Allegations: The ₦27 Billion Shakedown

​Taking his offensive a step further, Prince Adeyemi laid bare the alleged criminal fallout that triggered the sudden institutional disavowal. He openly alleged that the friction began when he fiercely rejected a massive, predatory financial demand coming directly from the Chief of Staff's office.

​Adeyemi claimed that Gbajabiamila allegedly demanded an astounding 48% cut of the agency's ₦27,395,510,136 take-off grant. This extortion attempt reportedly came after a staggering ₦400 million had already been collected by proxy to facilitate and secure the leadership appointment, leaving an unfulfilled balance of ₦200 million.

​A Dark Trail: Unexplained Deaths and Highway Ambushes

​The whistleblower's address quickly took a dark and alarming turn as he made an urgent, passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to establish an independent investigative panel featuring international civil society bodies. He insisted the panel investigate two critical events:

​The Intermediary's Death: The highly suspicious demise of Mr. Babatunde Tanimola, who acted as the direct go-between for Adeyemi and the Chief of Staff. Tanimola reportedly perished in a sudden hotel fire in Utako, Abuja, on October 22, 2025—exactly twenty-four hours after the police received the Chief of Staff's initial petition.

​The Kaduna Expressway Ambush: A targeted assassination attempt on September 7, 2025, along the Abuja–Kaduna Expressway. Adeyemi narrowly escaped with his life, but his vehicles were raided and two personal phones packed with sensitive communication data were stolen. He claimed an insider confirmed a standalone "order from above" explicitly halted security agencies from pursuing the tracked devices.

​The Recruitment Waiver and Multi-Agency Entanglement

​Compounding this explosive brief are newly unsealed state details published by TheCable, outlining how the PFIPC secured a special hiring exemption from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation on August 7, 2025. Signed by Mimi Abu, Director of Organisation Design and Development, the official waiver bypassed a strict national hiring embargo to authorize a full 300-man institutional structure for the PFIPC.

​The extensive structural breakdown authorized the immediate hiring of:

​10 Directors (GL 17) and 20 Assistant Directors (GL 15).

​45 Planning Officers, 32 Commercial Officers, and 22 Investment Promotion Officers.

​26 Accountants, 10 Legal Officers, along with a full fleet of program analysts, drivers, and confidential secretaries.

​The formal civil service letter stated with absolute clarity that the clearance was "based on and limited to the 2025 Approved Establishment position of the Agency." Immediately following this clearance, Prince Adeyemi rolled out celebratory public posters (1004187679_2.jpg) thanking President Tinubu for the visionary support and announcing a planned expansion across all 36 states and 127 international offices.

​Shattering the Illusion of a Ghost Agency

​The sheer volume of deep-level state networking completely shatters any attempt to brush the council aside as an unvetted myth. A timeline of verified physical and digital evidence shows the PFIPC was fully integrated into the highest tiers of federal governance:

​June 24, 2025 (1004187680_2.jpg): A formal invitation issued by Engr. Nadungu Gagare on behalf of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) officially requests the PFIPC Director-General to join the official state delegation to the Canada-Africa Fintech Summit in Toronto.

​July 25, 2025 (1004187676_2.jpg): Punch Newspapers documents a high-profile legislative meeting between Prince Adeyemi and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, to solidify institutional backing.

​September 2, 2025 (1004187675_2.jpg): The Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes sends a formal request to the PFIPC to nominate top executives for an elite policy exchange program in London.

​September 3, 2025 (1004187674_2.jpg): The House Committee on Treaties, Protocols, and Agreements issues an identical official invitation for a treaty governance exchange in Casablanca, Morocco.

​September 5, 2025 (1004187673_2.jpg): Prince Adeyemi is photographed at the anti-graft apex command alongside the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede.

​Yet, in a bizarre twist of bureaucratic paralysis, an isolated memo from the OSGF dated October 21, 2025 (1004187698_2.jpg), signed by Permanent Secretary M. S. Danjuma, surfaced claiming the council lacked administrative backing.

​Conclusion: A Systemic Crisis Demand Transparency

​With official state documents actively contradicting one another in the public eye, the presidency can no longer hide behind simple disclaimers. Prince Adeyemi has explicitly demanded that Femi Gbajabiamila step aside immediately to face a forensic panel. If the PFIPC is a total myth, then the entire Nigerian financial, legislative, and civil service infrastructure has been systematically subverted. The evidence is flying, the documents have spoken, and everyday Nigerians deserve an immediate, uncompromising truth.
