Adeyemi claims he borrowed N400m for PFIPC role

13 июля 2026

Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to head a purported government council, said on Monday he borrowed N400 million to obtain his appointment letter. He also stated his life is in danger and rejected suggestions he plans to flee Nigeria.

Adeniyi Adeyemi appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday. He said he borrowed the N400 million from people who have now petitioned the EFCC for repayment.

Adeyemi added that he fears for his life after multiple alleged attempts on him. He insisted he remains in Nigeria and has not gone into hiding.

The Presidency has described the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council as nonexistent. It issued a disclaimer in June and directed the ICPC to investigate the matter.

X users reacted with skepticism to Adeyemi's claim of borrowing N400m for the PFIPC role, questioning his credibility and 'passion' motive while highlighting potential corruption links; some noted inconsistencies with his prior interviews and broader systemic issues in government appointments.

THE N400 MILLION PASSION ANSWER

VDM asked the best question of the entire interview. If you paid N400 million to get into that office, how did you plan to recoup your investment?

Adeyemi said: passion for the country. He wanted to write his name in gold.

Nobody pays N400…

This story is actually insane and nobody is talking about it, and the key witness has apparently died in a hotel fire.
