The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) is intensifying its calls for the removal of Femi Gbajabiamila, Speaker of the House of Representatives, amid allegations surrounding the Public Financial Investment and Procurement Committee (PFIPC). The party claims that a fake agency has been operating under the guise of the PFIPC, involved in the illicit sale of government appointments. This controversy has ignited demands for a thorough investigation into budget allocations and staff approvals related to the agency.
NDC spokesperson, Olusola Abiola, stated, “The President must act decisively to restore integrity in governance and hold those accountable who exploit their positions for personal gain.” The scandal has further deepened with the suspicious death of Sunday Aborisade, a whistleblower, raising concerns about safety and transparency in Nigeria’s political landscape.
As the situation unfolds, the NDC’s insistence on an independent probe underscores a broader demand for accountability within the government. This episode may not only shape Gbajabiamila’s political future but also influence public trust in the current administration, compelling a reevaluation of governance practices ahead of upcoming elections.
