The African Democratic Congress (ADC) rejects President Bola Tinubu’s decision to have the alleged PFIPC scandal investigated by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). In statements reported by multiple outlets, the party argues that the probe by ICPC will not guarantee a credible outcome and instead calls for the establishment of an independent judicial panel to investigate the allegations.
While Tinubu’s approach is reported as directing the matter to ICPC, the ADC says the investigation should be handled by a separate judicial mechanism. The party’s position is presented as a demand rather than support for the existing investigative arrangement, emphasizing the need for independence and credibility in examining claims involving the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).
Both reports describe the ADC’s rejection as a clear political response to the choice of investigator, and they frame the judicial panel proposal as the alternative the party wants. No details are provided in the excerpts about the evidence involved, the scope of any investigation, or the response from the government or ICPC.
