The Senate has turned down a request by Senator Suleiman Kawu (APC, Kano South) to launch an investigation into the operations and controversies surrounding the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).

Kawu argued that the council's activities threaten the integrity of the Senate and the Federal Government, citing allegations of administrative lapses and unauthorized budget allocations.He demanded a probe into how N1.3 billion was approved for the PFIPC and whether funds have been released.

However, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin ruled against opening a parliamentary debate, stating the Executive branch is already handling the matter via the ICPC.
