The disowned director-general of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi, has taken down his social media accounts and personal websites amid growing public scrutiny.
Checks by PREMIUM TIMES showed that Mr Adeyemi’s main Facebook account, @Emperor2019, which contained information about his activities, is no longer accessible. Also, the website linked to his Facebook profile is not accessible at the time of filing this report.
The presidency is accusing Mr Adeniyi of forging government appointment letters and parading himself as DG of the non-existent PFIPC. This paper previously reported that the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, declared about three weeks ago that such an office doesn’t exist under the current administration and that the government never made the appointment.
The Nigerian government has filed an eight-count charge of forgery and impersonation against Mr Adeyemi before the Federal High Court. He faces a maximum prison sentence of 21 years without the option of a fine on each of seven charges, and up to three years’ imprisonment or a fine on one additional charge.
Mr Adeyemi, before deactivating his Facebook account about than 24 hours ago, had around 9,300 followers. On his Facebook profile, he described himself as an “astute administrator” and “financial wizard.”
He also referred to himself as “truly virtuous and upright individual, deeply God-fearing and guided by strong moral principles; a man of remarkable patience.”
Before it was taken down, the account contained posts portraying him as a senior government-linked official and promoting the disputed “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).” It included posts about diplomatic visits and high-level meetings such as a Pre-Summit Dinner held last year. Some members of the diplomatic corps, development partners, senior government officials, and private sector leaders were in attendance.
Mr Adeyemi also took down websites linked to his previous and upcoming projects, including his 2026 World Investment Summit, scheduled for October—the one for which the Pre-Summit Dinner was organised last year.
Mr Adeyemi claimed the event, titled “Unlocking Capital, Accelerating Development, Driving Prosperity”, could generate N5 trillion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), according to media reports.
The website, which was active only a few days ago, is now inactive.
Other Facebook accounts and websites with information about his activities before his appointment in 2025 are no longer available.
Some of these contain bogus claims that have raised questions about him in the past, such as his alleged appointment as the President General of the World Youth United Nations Summit in 2017 and his establishment of a World Youth University. That year, a Facebook page and website were created for a World Youth Economic Summit. Registration for the conference costs 600 dollars.
This paper found that both the Facebook account and the website are no longer accessible.

Mr Adeyemi’s access to top government officials and institutions while presenting as the DG of a non-existent agency has been a source of concern.
This paper reported that the agency received a budgetary allocation, opened an account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and exchanged several correspondences with the office of the Accountant General of the Federation.
It also secured office space at the federal secretariat and had at least three senior civil servants deployed to work there.
Meanwhile, Mr Adeyemi denied the allegations against him and accused Mr Gbajabiamila of falsehood and corruption.
Some media organisations reported that he accused Mr Gbajabiamila of requesting N400 million through a proxy.
He has, however, vowed to prove his innocence in court.
