President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the activities of a purported entity known as the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), directing that those found culpable face legal consequences. The directive follows growing scrutiny over the legitimacy of the organization and its operations.
According to reports from Vanguard News, Tinubu has mandated the ICPC to conduct a thorough investigation into the formation, funding, and activities of PFIPC, including the role of individuals linked to it, notably one Adeniyi. The president has directed that the probe be concluded and a comprehensive report submitted within 30 days. The publication cited the directive as part of an effort to uphold accountability and safeguard public institutions from misuse.
Business Day corroborated the directive, stating that Tinubu instructed the ICPC to investigate the so-called 'fake agency' and ensure that all individuals involved in its establishment or operation are held accountable under the law. The term 'fake agency drama' was used in the report to describe the controversy surrounding PFIPC’s emergence and alleged operations without formal government recognition.
The nature and scope of PFIPC’s activities have not been officially detailed, but the swift presidential response underscores concerns over unauthorized entities operating under the guise of state authority. The ICPC investigation is expected to clarify the extent of the council’s operations and determine whether public resources were misused or laws violated.
