AKINWALE ABOLUWADE
Facts have emerged that the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, and the Central Bank of Nigeria acted on letters received from the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) believing that they were legitimate documents.
It was learned that Adeniyi Adeyemi, the disowned Director-General of the alleged agency, penetrated the executive arm of government to orchestrate illegal activities.
Some of the letters were said to be written with forged State House letterhead but signed using Adeyemi’s name as the DG of PFIPC.
The presidency charged Adeyemi to court alleging that he concocted the letters and the claims therein.
In an eight-count charge, Mr Adeyemi faces a maximum prison sentence of 21 years without the option of fine on each charge, and up to three years’ imprisonment or a fine on one additional charge.
Mr Adeyemi, however, vowed to prove his innocence in court, alleging that he did not act illegally.
He accused Femi Gbajabiamila, the chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu, of corruption and falsehood.
The OSGF and OAGF processed a request for an office space for his non-existent agency at the Federal Secretariat and directed the CBN to open two domiciliary accounts for the organisation.
The OAGF also granted the organisation self-accounting status and assigned it a budget code, ensuring it received a budgetary allocation. A self-accounting status grants an MDA full control over its accounting records and enables it to prepare and submit transcripts directly to the Treasury.
Facts about Mr Adeyemi activities were unravelled on 16th October 2025 when the Foreign Affairs Ministry wrote to Mr Gbajabiamila and the National Security Adviser, requesting clarification on Mr Adeyemi’s status.
A letter signed by the ministry’s Director, Economic, Trade and Investment Department, Anderson Madubike, said the request followed Mr Adeyemi’s meeting with members of the diplomatic community on 10 October 2025, without recourse to the Foreign Affairs Ministry in contravention to the extant rules and regulations guiding diplomatic and globally practices.
