President Tinubu References First Lady as 'Iya Alakara' at Press Dinner
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has demanded an independent judicial inquiry into the controversy surrounding the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), accusing the Tinubu-led government of failing to explain how the alleged fictitious organisation operated across federal institutions.
The opposition party claims the presidency's defence of Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila raised more questions than answers, highlighting systemic institutional decay.
The ADC's statement, issued by National Publicity Secretary Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, criticises the government's response as exposing 'the staggering depth of institutional decay'.
The party calls for investigations into 10 institutions, including the Office of the Chief of Staff, Budget Office, and DSS, citing concerns over governance, accountability, and national security.The ADC also references allegations of N200m-N600m payments to Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, demanding transparency.
The controversy, which involves claims of a non-existent organisation interacting with government agencies, has sparked public debate, with the ADC warning of severe scrutiny if the Tinubu government fails to act.
