The Presidency has denied the existence of an organisation known as the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, warning the public against claims of appointments made under its purported auspices.
It clarified that no such council exists under the current administration and that no appointment has been made in that regard.
In a disclaimer issued on Thursday by the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, the government said it had become aware that a certain Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi was holding himself out to the public as having been appointed by the office.
“The unsuspecting public is hereby advised to note that such an office does not exist under this administration and no appointment has been made in that regard,” the statement read.
The Presidency urged foreign and diplomatic missions, financial and multilateral institutions, development organisations, security agencies and other relevant stakeholders to take note of the disclaimer and disregard any claims linked to the purported council.
It reiterated that any representation or claim of appointment under the so-called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council should be treated as invalid.
