The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has disclosed that he was among those allegedly deceived by the activities of the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), which has come under public scrutiny over questions surrounding its authenticity.

Kalu made the revelation on the floor of the House of Representatives during plenary on Wednesday, explaining that his office had initially received official-looking correspondence from the organization, prompting him to believe it was a legitimate government body.

According to the Deputy Speaker, his photographs were widely circulated alongside those of the self-acclaimed Director-General of the PFIPC, Adeniyi Adeyemi, following his interaction with the group.

“I was a victim, and I’m sure if you watch the news, you would see my picture all over the screen side by side with the purported DG of this organization,” Kalu told lawmakers.

He explained that in May 2025, his office received a letter bearing the Presidency's letterhead and identifying the sender as the Office of the Director-General of the PFIPC.

Kalu said the document appeared convincing at first glance, as it also contained an address indicating the Federal Secretariat Complex, Phase Three, Second Floor, Central Business District, Abuja.

He, however, noted that despite noticing some inconsistencies in the correspondence, he directed members of his team to verify the existence of the organization before granting any audience.

According to him, his aides visited the address provided and confirmed that the organization was operating from the stated location, leading him to approve a meeting with its representatives.

“When I saw this, I looked down the letterhead and saw Federal Secretariat Complex, Phase Three, Second Floor, Central Business District. It was a bit confusing for me. Some of the information looked credible, some did not.

“I now sent my team to go and verify the existence of this organization at the said address. My team came back confirming that this organization was in the said location. I then approved for them to come and have the interaction with me,” he said.

Why won't you be a victim? You guys are a mere rubber stamp conduit pipe of the executive aka on your we shall dance .

The budget of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA was also a victim.

Mad satanic corrupt embezellers of the nation common wealth from top to bottom.

You think we are fools.
Where is a abacha today?
Your pay days are coming. From the President to everyone of you .

You all are accomplices because 2026 appropriation bill was brought before you guys and it was approved as usual, without proper scrutiny. Shame on you guys!!!

The Koko is how the budget was included without scrutiny.

We really don't care about who was a victim and who was not. All Nigerian politicians do is LIE anyways.

BUT, the culprits must be found and given the china treatment. That's what we want.

Yeye deep smell

What's good about APC and Bola Ahmed Tinubu fraudulent government?

Nobody is a victim. tinubu along side his chief of thief use the said agency as their SUV to siphon Nigerians money.

Was there no budget defense from the agency, the agency submitted budget, i am sure to the office of CoS. Does he not know all agencies under his purview.
This whole brouhaha started in 2025, how come it was appropriated for im 2026. Why are we just getting to know in 2026. How come, he operated bank account with CBN, how come he was allocated office space in Federal Sec Complex, how come he was among delegates to canada, how come, HoS approved the employment of 300 staff.

The whole of Nigeria Appropriation Bill of 2026 is a scam, APC just looking for money for election.

Everyone trying to exonerate themselves from the sandal. Government of fraudsters 🤣

Budget can't go to COS, it's either the SGF or Budget office
All MDAs under presidency are oversee by the SGF.

I now sent my team to go and verify the existence of this organization at the said address. My team came back confirming that this organization was in the said location. I then approved for them to come and have the interaction with me,” he said.

I don't blame him based on the above.

See person that have made millions victims of his bad governance...follow de claim victim

Since 1999, Majority of Nigerians have been mistaking political idiocy for democracy.

Political idiocy is a government of Idiots by idiots for idiots.

Apcshit:

My team came back confirming that this organization was in the said location. I then approved for them to come and have the interaction with me,” he said.

So you believe him? So to verify the existence and legibility of an organization is to go and see its address.
And did he also send his staff to go check and confirm the address of the agency the second time to approve its budget in the 2026 appropriation bill? Because according to Adeyemi's interaction with VDM today,he was in detention, and the office closed when the budget was debated and passed.

Has it not occurred to you that he's only trying to shift the scandal to the people that assigned the office space? These thieves in government really have many callible followers. No wonder the loot with impunity.

Until anyone in his team come out to say he didn't send them to verify the agency, yes I don't blame him for now.
