The Presidency has distanced itself from claims by a certain Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi that he was appointed under an organisation known as the “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council,” describing the purported appointment as false and unauthorized.
In a public disclaimer issued by the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, the Federal Government stated that the alleged organisation does not exist within the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and that no such appointment had been made.
According to the statement, the matter came to the attention of the Federal Government and the Office of the Chief of Staff after Prince Adeyemi reportedly began presenting himself to members of the public as an appointee of the Presidency under the purported council.
“The unsuspecting public is hereby advised to note that such an office does not exist under this administration and no appointment has been made in that regard,” the statement said.
The Presidency further urged foreign and diplomatic missions, financial and multilateral institutions, development organisations, security agencies, and other stakeholders to take note of the disclaimer and disregard any claims linked to the alleged council.
The statement emphasized that the Federal Government had not established any body known as the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council and warned the public against dealing with individuals or groups making representations on behalf of such a non-existent entity.
The disclaimer was signed by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, on behalf of the Presidency.
