Report has emerged that self-style Director-General of fictitious agency, Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, was once an aide of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, and was sacked for fraudulent act.
Prince Adeyemi has been in the news for the wrong reason.
The PFIPC, which he claimed to head was disowned by the presidency while he levelled allegation of bribery against the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Subsequently he has come under prosecution, with the police accusing him of forgery and impersonation among others.
News has broken that Prince Adeyemi served as Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Protocol to incumbent Osun Governor for four months.
The Nation revealed this citing an unnamed top government source in Osun: “It is true that His Excellency appointed Adeyemi in 2023. But his appointment did not last for five months as he was sacked because of his shady deals.
“He was saddled with the responsibility of handling visa and travelling documents for the governor and other government officials.
“He was not really based in Osun State at that time.”
Quoting the source further: “After four months of his appointment, the governor received a letter from the French embassy seeking clarification on an issue earlier raised by His Excellency. We were confused because the government had never raised any letter to that embassy.
“We investigated further and discovered that Adeyemi had used his office to write to the French embassy and forged the signature of Governor Adeleke and others for the purpose he was fraudulently pursuing at that time.
“When we discovered the shady deal he was into, we informed the Chief of Staff and also the governor, who directed the Secretary to the State Government to sack him immediately.
“Governor Adeleke had warned us that he would not tolerate corruption in his cabinet when we were appointed, so he did not even entertain any plea from him or those he sent to beg for mercy.”
