Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to be the Director-General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), has expressed a lack of confidence in the ongoing investigation by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Adeniyi made the remarks on Monday while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, insisting that only an independent panel could credibly investigate the controversy surrounding the council.
According to him, government agencies cannot impartially investigate matters involving top government officials.
“Government can’t probe Government. Are you telling me that the ICPC would indict Chief Femi Gbajabiamila? It’s not possible,” he said.
“I thank our father, Mr President, for listening by setting up a panel, but what we need is an independent panel. The Presidency already exonerated Gbajabiamila.”
The comments come amid ongoing scrutiny over the activities of the PFIPC and the federal government’s response to the controversy.
Meanwhile, Nigerian Newssphere reports that Adeniyi is scheduled to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday.
