PFIPC scandal: CDHR demands Gbajabiamila step aside pending probe

The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) has urged the Nigerian Federal Government to initiate an independent investigation into allegations that Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, demanded N27.4 billion and received N400 million through intermediaries to secure the appointment of Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew as Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council/Presidential Economic Advisory Council. Matthew claims he was legally appointed via a letter allegedly issued by Gbajabiamila. The CDHR called on Gbajabiamila to step aside pending the probe, emphasizing the need for impartiality and legal accountability. The organization condemned corruption, bribery, and abuse of office, stressing that public office should not be treated as a commodity. It noted that allegations from both sides are serious and require thorough examination to uphold institutional integrity and public trust.
