Nigeria’s Presidency issues a public warning denying the existence of a so-called “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council” and rejecting claims that any appointments were made to roles under the body. According to the disclaimer carried by both outlets, the administration states that no office with that name exists under the current government. The Presidency also says it has not made any appointments connected to the purported council, adding that members of the public should be cautious about information circulating online or through other channels that suggests otherwise.
Premium Times and The Punch both report the same core message: the “Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council” is self-styled and not recognized by the administration. The statements are framed as guidance to the public, advising people not to assume legitimacy based on claims of appointments or links to the Presidency. The reporting does not include details about who made the claims or any specific individuals said to have been appointed, but it consistently emphasizes that the Presidency is disowning the group and urging public awareness of the misinformation.
