PFIPC: Those I took money from have dragged me to EFCC — Adeyemi

The self-styled Director General of the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, has revealed that those that he borrowed money from to secure the appointment have dragged him to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The embattled Adeyemi said this when he featured on a Channels Television interview programme: “Politics Today,” on Monday.

Adeyemi also revealed that his withdrawal from the public is due to threats to his life rather than an attempt to evade law enforcement agencies.

He said: “I’m ready to show my face.

“I’m not hiding.

“I’m only fearing for my life because I have it on good authority that my life is in danger.

“There have been several attempts on my life.”

Adeyemi maintained his claim that he gave money to Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, to secure his appointment as the director-general of the council.

When asked how he raised the ₦400 million he claimed was paid through a proxy, he said he borrowed it.

He said: “I borrowed the money (₦400 million) for this appointment.

“In fact, those that I borrowed from have reported to the EFCC.”
