The Presidency has called on security agencies to uncover internal collaborators in the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, scandal.

It said these collaborators enabled Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi to operate a fictitious government agency.

The Presidency made the call on Friday, July 3, 2026, in a statement issued by Temitope Ajayi, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity.

Mr Ajayi said the alleged cartel that aided Adeniyi must be unravelled. The security agencies must act.

“What is not in doubt is that internal collaborators enabled Adeniyi to get this far. That is precisely what investigators from the DSS, the Police, and the EFCC must now unravel,” he stated.

He added: “The criminal network within the affected institutions must be dismantled, and everyone found to have played a role should be arrested and prosecuted.”

The Presidency alleged that there are internal collaborators. These collaborators, it said, enabled Prince Adeniyi. They helped him in his smear campaign. The target of that campaign is Femi Gbajabiamila. He is the Chief of Staff to the President.

The Presidency did not name any specific collaborators. It did not say which institutions they belong to. But it insisted they exist. It said they must be found and prosecuted.
