Presidency warns public about non-existent presidential group

The Presidency has distanced itself from the purported appointment of one Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi by an organisation identified as the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, describing the claim as false.

In a State House statement issued on Thursday, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, said the alleged organisation was not recognised by the Federal Government and did not exist under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

“It has come to the notice of the Federal Government of Nigeria and specifically the Office of the Chief of Staff to His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR that a certain Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, under the auspices of an alleged organisation styled as the “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council” is portraying himself to the general public, as having been appointed by my office.

“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 read.

The Chief of Staff urged foreign and diplomatic missions, financial and multilateral institutions, development organisations, security agencies and members of the public to take note of the disclaimer.
