Former Minister of Aviation Osita Chidoka has called for a thorough examination of the documents at the centre of the controversy surrounding the alleged fake agency reportedly linked to Adeniyi Adeyemi.
Chidoka made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, while discussing allegations involving the purported Presidential/Federal Intervention Programme (PFICP) and questions over its legitimacy.
He said the key document that should be scrutinised is the alleged approval letter Adeyemi claimed to have received from the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.
“I’m interested in seeing the letter from Femi Gbajabiamila because the letter is at the heart of the whole thing,” Chidoka said.
According to the former minister, the authenticity of the document could help determine whether the alleged agency received any form of official government recognition and whether the required procedures for establishing such an institution were followed.
Chidoka argued that the controversy should be resolved through documentary evidence rather than speculation or competing public narratives.
He also urged government institutions to strengthen their verification processes to prevent individuals from using unauthorised documents or claims to obtain official recognition.
Questioning the handling of the alleged appointment, Chidoka asked whether officials in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) verified the authenticity of the appointment letter before acting on it.
“The question is: letter of appointment, does it exist? Yes. Where did he get it from?” he said.
He further queried whether the OSGF accepted the document without verification and whether the Office of the Head of the Civil Service confirmed that due process had been followed before reportedly allocating office accommodation to the alleged agency.
“When he sent it to the Secretary of Government’s office, did you accept it without verification?” Chidoka asked.
He added: “When you wrote to the Head of Civil Service’s office saying we need an office, did you check back to see whether this is procedural?”
Chidoka maintained that a careful review of official records and relevant documents would be essential to establishing the facts surrounding the controversy.
He referenced the interview, directing viewers to watch the discussion from 2:43 to 3:10.
