VDM Clears Gbajabiamila of Bribery Allegation Amid Scrutiny in Fake Agency Saga, Makes Fresh Claim

  • VDM has defended Femi Gbajabiamila against the widely discussed ₦400 million bribery allegation but immediately introduced another claim
  • The social media activist questioned an alleged presidential directive linked to the release of ₦54 billion from the NUPRC
  • Presidency has dismissed previous allegations and ordered an investigation into the PFIPC controversy

Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).

In a recent video, VDM stated that President Bola Tinubu's Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, should not be accused of collecting the alleged ₦400 million bribe because, according to him, no evidence has been presented to support the claim.

Despite defending Gbajabiamila on the bribery allegation, VDM shifted attention to another issue.

He questioned an alleged directive that reportedly led to the release of ₦54 billion from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), arguing that the arrangement deserved public scrutiny.

However, the allegation has not been confirmed by any investigative or judicial authority.

Presidency maintains position

The Presidency has repeatedly insisted that Gbajabiamila has no connection with the PFIPC controversy.

President Tinubu has also directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the matter and all related allegations. As of the time of filing this report, no official findings have substantiated VDM's latest claim.
