The Kwankwasiyya Movement has called for a probe into the allocation of over N1bn for the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council in the 2026 budget. Habibu Mohammed, spokesperson for the movement, asked a string of questions in a statement: 'If the council never existed, how did it find its way into the national budget? Who proposed and approved the allocation? Which government offices processed the documentation? Was any public money released or committed?'
The movement also questioned how official documents were allegedly forged and used for a long period without detection. Kwankwasiyya described the issues as matters of public accountability rather than partisan politics. They emphasized that this is not about one individual, but rather the government's handling of the controversy.
The movement pointed out that the Tinubu administration came into office promising 'Renewed Hope, institutional reform, and responsible governance'. They stated that these promises must now be measured against the government's willingness to provide full disclosure on this and other matters.
Kwankwasiyya stated that the controversy could affect Nigeria's reputation among foreign investors. Foreign investors assess the integrity of public institutions, and any uncertainty about government bodies or official appointments risks undermining confidence in Nigeria's governance and investment climate.
The movement called on the Presidency to publish details of the budgetary provision, including its origin, the administrative processes that led to it, and measures being taken to prevent a recurrence. They also urged the National Assembly, anti-corruption agencies, and other oversight institutions to conduct an independent investigation into the matter.
Kwankwasiyya stressed that Nigerians deserve a full explanation of the controversy without delay. They emphasized that every naira appropriated belongs to the Nigerian people, and every public institution must be accountable to them.
Habibu Mohammed said: 'We will continue to demand transparency, not because of politics, but because public office is a public trust.'
'If the council never existed, how did it find its way into the national budget?' Habibu Mohammed asked. 'Who proposed and approved the allocation? Which government offices processed the documentation? Was any public money released or committed?'
