The Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has stated that the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services, DSS, and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, cleared him of wrongdoing over allegations surrounding the purported Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, PFIPC.
Gbajabiamila made the remark on Saturday during the 2026 Gbaja Mega Empowerment Programme in Lagos State.
“The allegations against me had been investigated, and the reports of the investigations were in the public domain,” he stated. 
Gbajabiamila was linked to the establishment of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, PFIPC, headed by its Director-General, Adeniyi Adeyemi.
Adeyemi had accused Gbajabiamila of demanding a 48 per cent kickback from a N27.3 billion grant to the council.
He also claimed that he paid N400 million to Tinubu’s Chief of Staff through a proxy and owed an additional N200 million.
Following the allegations, Adeyemi was arrested, detained and later released.
After his release, Gbajabiamila dragged Adeyemi to court over alleged defamation.
