The Nigeria Democratic Congress has called for the immediate removal of Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, following allegations linking him to an alleged scandal involving the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
In a statement dated July 3, 2026, and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, the party said it was “alarmed by the damning allegations of corruption involving the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, and one Prince Mathew Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to be the Director-General of the so-called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).”
The NDC alleged that “the non-existent agency was allegedly used to siphon public funds, with the active collusion and facilitation by the Chief of Staff, Gbajabiamila,” adding that the development “raises fundamental questions about the level of transparency, accountability, and the integrity of the Tinubu administration.”
According to the statement, allegations made by Adeyemi include claims that the PFIPC received allocations in the 2026 budget and opened multiple accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
“According to the allegations by Prince Adeyemi, the PFIPC received budgetary allocations in the 2026 budget and successfully opened a Domiciliary Account, a Pound Sterling Account, and a Treasury Single Account (TSA), all domiciled with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
“This development is baffling, given that the Presidency has publicly disclaimed the existence of any such agency,” the NDC said.
The party questioned how an agency it described as non-existent could have operated within official financial systems.
“The NDC finds it deeply troubling that an agency the Presidency claims does not exist could open multiple high-level financial accounts at the apex bank.
“For an individual to open a domiciliary account, stringent documentation is required.
“How then was a fictitious agency able to open such accounts without the necessary documentation?” the statement said.
It further asked: “Did the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation knowingly process forged documents? The Presidency owes Nigerians an urgent clarification on this matter.”
