Ultimate Cluelessness – Sam Amadi Blasts Tinubu Over Fake Presidential Council

Former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Sam Amadi, has shared his thoughts on the controversy surrounding the alleged fictitious Presidential Economic Advisory Council.

NEWSNGR reports that the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had dismissed claims by Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew that he was appointed Director-General of a Presidential Economic Advisory Council.

The Presidency described the council as a fictitious body and Adeyemi as an impostor facing criminal prosecution over allegations of forgery, impersonation and obtaining by false pretence.

According to the Presidency, investigations by security agencies established that Adeyemi forged appointment documents, falsely presented himself as a government appointee, operated multiple bank accounts linked to fictitious agencies and fraudulently opened a Central Bank of Nigeria account without receiving any government funds.

Reacting to the development in a post on 𝕏 on Thursday, Amadi questioned how a non-existent government agency allegedly operated undetected within the Presidency.

He argued that officials in the Presidency should have raised questions about the existence of the agency, accusing the administration of lacking awareness.

“So, nobody in the Presidency could say, ‘Wait a minute, when did we create this agency?’ Tinubu is then the ultimate cluelessness. And many so-called technocrats and vain professors think he should be reelected,” Amadi wrote.
