Presidency Defends Speaker Gbajabiamila Amidst Accusations, Addresses Fictitious Council Claims

Nigeria's presidency has stepped in to defend the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, amidst public scrutiny. The defense comes after reactions from Atiku Abubakar's aide and other figures, highlighting a debate over alleged misconduct.

The presidency's statement specifically addressed public concern regarding an individual named Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew. This man has reportedly been presenting himself as the director-general of two non-existent bodies: a Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council and a Presidential Economic Advisory Council.

The intervention by the presidency seeks to clarify the situation and counter any misinformation surrounding the Speaker and the alleged fictitious council. The exact nature of the accusations against Gbajabiamila and the specific role Matthew played remain central to the ongoing public discussion.
