Analyst Urges Gbajabiamila to Step Aside Pending Court Ruling in PFIPC Scam
A political analyst has called on the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, to temporarily vacate his duties while courts address allegations of fraud linked to the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council. This appeal follows a prominent human rights lawyer’s assertion that only the judiciary can rule on criminal liability after the Presidency swiftly cleared Gbajabiamila of wrongdoing. Critics argue the executive arm lacks authority to exonerate anyone from criminal allegations. Allegations stem from claims that a self-styled director of the non-existent PFIPC demanded N400 million kickback and other payments for an appointment. Investigations reportedly uncovered forged letters, a fake office in the Federal Secretariat and multiple bank accounts tied to sham government bodies. The analyst warns this episode highlights serious oversight gaps. He urges stronger verification processes, tighter document controls and greater transparency to prevent similar institutional failures in the future.
