There is a real Presidential Economic Advisory Council. It is a legitimate body that Tinubu reconstituted in 2023 with proper appointments. It already had a budget line. What appears to have happened is that Adeyemi's invented agency name, the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, was grafted onto that existing legitimate budget line during the National Assembly phase of the 2026 appropriation process.
The actual published 2026 Appropriation Act lists the entry as: "PRESIDENTIAL ECONOMIC ADVISORY COUNCIL / PRESIDENTIALL FOREIGN INTERVENTION PROMOTION COUNCIL" under a single budget code, with N1.3 billion in combined allocation. Two agencies, one real and one fictitious, sharing one budget code. And the word "PRESIDENTIAL" in the second name is spelled "PRESIDENTIALL" with a double L, in a signed national budget document, which tells you how carefully that entry was reviewed before the President put pen to paper.
This is not unusual in how Nigeria's budget process works. The President submitted a N58.18 trillion bill in December 2025. By the time NASS finished with it, it had grown to N68.3 trillion, over N9 trillion added during legislative deliberations. Analysis of the final document showed at least 82 MDAs had new lines inserted that were not in the President's original submission, totalling N3.5 trillion in additions, in direct contradiction of a Budget Office circular warning against new projects. This happens every budget cycle. BudgIT has flagged it for years. Agencies and individuals lobby appropriations committee members during the legislative phase and lines get inserted or amended.
So to directly answer the question: the budget entry most likely happened through that legislative insertion gap, not through a forged document submitted to the Budget Office. Someone, whether Adeyemi himself through contacts, a legislator acting on bad information, or a staff member who had been deceived by his paperwork, added the PFIPC name to the PEAC's existing budget code during NASS deliberations. The Budget Office saw a code that already existed for a legitimate body and processed it without flagging the second name.
The Presidency's July 1 statement calls him a fraudster and an impostor. That may be entirely correct and the court will settle it. But that same statement does not address the budget entry with a single sentence. The investigation needs to identify who specifically touched that appropriation line and at what stage. If it stops at Adeyemi's eight-count charge without tracing the budget insertion, the most important question in this entire saga goes unanswered.
Maybe some of you have forgotten.
Rashford’s issues didn’t start yesterday. They escalated when Amorim left both him and Garnacho out against City. Garnacho responded by working his way back into the team. Rashford chose a loan to Aston Villa, a club already in the UCL.
Instead of staying to help us win the Europa League and fight our way back into Europe, he left. Then the season ended, we finished 15th, and his focus shifted to Barcelona. He wanted the move made permanent, but they turned him down.
Now Cunha, Mbeumo, and Sesko have done the hard work to get United back into the UCL, and suddenly Rashford wants back?
Ask yourself one question, if United weren’t in the Champions League, would Rashford still want to stay?

He’ll probably never pay for another meal in NYC. He’ll never need a reservation. He’ll be at every NY team’s games in the best seats. When you take one for the team, you always win.
