The self-acclaimed Director-general of the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, Adeniyi Adeyemi, has alleged that several ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government processed, recognised or interacted with the council, insisting that he didn’t act all by himself.
He made the push back via a statement signed by Festus Akhigbe on behalf of Adeyemi’s legal team.
Adeyemi, who is in police custody, also demanded to appear before the House of Representatives ad hoc committee, chaired by Yusuf Gagdi, investigating the council, noting that any report produced without hearing from him would violate his constitutional right to a fair hearing.
“Any investigative outcome or final legislative report produced without affording our client a direct hearing would be fundamentally flawed, incomplete, and a breach of the constitutional right to a fair hearing (audi alteram partem),” the statement read.
