Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has disclosed that he was among those misled by the activities of the alleged fake Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC.
Kalu made the revelation during plenary on Wednesday, saying he unknowingly interacted with officials of the organisation after receiving what appeared to be an authentic letter bearing the Presidency’s letterhead.
He explained that photographs showing him alongside the self acclaimed Director General of the PFIPC, Adeniyi Adeyemi, surfaced after the meeting.
“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.
“In May 2025, my office got a letter, and that letter had the Presidency as letterhead also bearing Office of the Director General, PFIPC.
“When I saw this, I looked down the letterhead, I 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 in the said address. My team came back confirming that this organization was in the said location. I now gave approval for them to come to have the interaction with me,” Kalu said.
