Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong has questioned the legitimacy of a so-called 'ghost agency' linked to Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the president, which allegedly operated an account with the Central Bank of Nigeria and secured office space at the Federal Secretariat. Effiong expressed his concerns during a guest appearance on Saturday, labeling the situation as 'ridiculous' and 'preposterous'.

The controversy surrounding a purported "fake" federal government agency is causing challenges for President Bola Tinubu's administration, according to ThisDay Live. The situation has prompted calls for full transparency and a thorough investigation into the matter, which is deemed detrimental to the country's collective interests.

The Presidency has cleared Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President, of allegations regarding a purported forged appointment into a non-existent federal agency. This announcement was made in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, who dismissed the claims surrounding the matter.

Adeniyi Adeyemi Mathew, identified as the 'DG' in a fake agency scandal, has deactivated his social media accounts and websites. At the time of reporting, the website associated with his Facebook profile was also inaccessible, according to Premium Times.

The Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Temitope Ajayi, has accused Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew of trying to use public discontent over corruption in Nigeria to evade criminal responsibility. Ajayi claims Adeyemi is involving the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, in his situation to deflect attention from his actions, according to the Presidency's response.

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged President Bola Tinubu to suspend Femi Gbajabiamila, the president's chief of staff, amid controversy regarding the alleged presidential foreign intervention promotion council (PFIPC). In a statement released on Friday, the opposition party argued that Gbajabiamila's suspension would facilitate an impartial investigation into the allegations related to the council.
