LAGOS —Self-styled Director-General of alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, Prince Adeniyi Matthew Adeyemi, has explained how the agency was captured in the Federal Government’s 2026 budget despite his arrest before the appropriation process was concluded.

This came as the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee investigating the PFIPC saga yesterday began a probe into the establishment, with Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, OHCSF, and the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, testifying and distancing themselves from its creation and operation.

Adeyemi made the claims in an interview with social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, in a recording released shortly after his arrest.

He said the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, had no hand in the N1.3 billion budgetary allocation, adding that he personally approached top Budget Office officials for the agency ‘s inclusion.

He noted that the process was not completed before his arrest, saying he was surprised to later discover that the proposed agency had appeared in the budget.
