Government Denies Naming Adeyemi to Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council

The Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has denied claims by an individual identified as Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi that he has been appointed as a member of a “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.”

In a statement on Thursday, Gbajabiamila denied appointing such a person, saying the council does not exist.

The Chief of Staff to President Tinubu also warned the public against any dealings with the said individual or purported organisation.

Gbajabiamila was reported to have added in the statement that foreign and diplomatic missions, security agencies and all other concerned stakeholders should take cognisance of the disclaimer.

The Federal Government of Nigeria, and particularly the Office of the Chief of Staff to His Excellency, has taken note. “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR that one 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 take note that such an office does not exist under this administration and no appointment has been made in that regard.

“Foreign and Diplomatic Missions, Financial and Multilateral Institutions, Development Organisations, Security Agencies and so on are hereby advised to take note of contents of this Notice.”
