Presidency denies PFIPC existence as Adeyemi cites illness in Gbajabiamila N27.4bn allegation
Daily Post reports Adeyemi Matthew alleges Femi Gbajabiamila demanded N27.4bn and collected N400m via proxies to secure his appointment as DG of the alleged PFIPC. The presidency, through Bayo Onanuga, denied the claim Wednesday, stating both Adeyemi and the purported agency are unknown to government. Adeyemi told Channels TV yesterday he possesses an appointment letter but cannot share details as the matter is in court. He emphasized he is currently sick, on medication, and focusing on his health. This controversy involves Tinubu's Chief of Staff in a major financial allegation that the presidency has wholly disowned. The claim raises questions about verification processes for government agencies and accountability for high-level officials when serious corruption accusations emerge. With the presidency denying PFIPC's existence and Adeyemi citing illness preventing further comment, citizens should consider how to assess such serious allegations when official sources completely disavow both the accuser and the institution he claims to represent.
