A civil society group — the Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education — is demanding an independent investigation into the disclaimed Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council PFIPC and wants the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, suspended pending its outcome.
In a statement Sunday, the group’s executive director, Ibrahim Zikirullahi, said the allegations by the shadow agency’s director general, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Mathew, that Gbajabiamila facilitated his appointment in exchange for a percentage of the council’s reported take-off grant raise serious concerns about transparency and accountability in government.
The civic group joins a growing list of parties, including the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project SERAP and a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Kabiru Turaki, calling for an investigation into the fictitious council and its activities up until its closure as well as the suspension of all government officials implicated in the scandal.
