Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede is asking questions over the 2026 budget Ghost Agency.
Kemi Filani reported that N1.3 billion was allocated to disputed or non-existent councils in the 2026 budget, raising concerns about fraudulent budget allocations and oversight lapses.
The presidency had denied the existence of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), even though the same agency appeared in the 2026 Appropriation Act with a budget allocation of about N1.3 billion.
The controversy followed revelations that Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Mathew allegedly operated under the agency’s name, hosted foreign ambassadors, maintained offices within the Federal Secretariat in Abuja, opened multiple bank accounts, including one with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and presented himself as the council’s Director-General before police investigations concluded that the agency never legally existed.
The statement from the FG has left many Nigerians confused about how a non-existent institution found its way into a budget passed by the National Assembly and signed into law by President Bola Tinubu.
Sharing her thoughts on her Instagram page, Yvonne questioned which year the Agency was created and how the agency has a budget within the Federal Government.
“The questions I want to ask,
- What year was the agency created?
- If the Federal Government didn’t create the agency, how did they have a budget in the Federal Government?
Plus an account with CBN?
Can someone help me with answers? Is it possible?”.
A few days ago, the Edo State actress shared her take on the different types of supporters of President Tinubu’s government, while lamenting over the situation in the country. She revealed that there are the ‘I don enter am’ type of people, the Believers and the delusional ones.
Since the abduction of the Oyo State girls, Yvonne has become outspoken about the country’s situation.
She expressed sadness over the news of the death of Oyo State teacher. She noted how only a certain group of people are complaining and expressed concern that people aren’t standing up to it.
In a second post, Yvonne accused the Nigerian government of lacking a sense of humanity. She called out the president and his wife, saying that Nigerians aren’t doormats nor people they can easily prey on.
The movie star had lashed out at Tinubu’s supporters, calling them kidnappers, killers, hooligans, and corrupt individuals. She admonished them to deal with their conscience.
Iheme Nancy, had read the riot act to family and friends who are supporting President Tinubu for re-election in 2027. She dissociated herself from such people, telling them their IQs are negative and that they should avoid her, as they are dangerous.
Bolanle Ninalowo had said a word of prayer to those who have benefited from Nigerian resources. He prayed that God punish and withhold his grace from anyone who has taken and benefits from Nigerian resources at the expense and pain of other Nigerians.
Singer, Jaywon Juwonlo admitted that he had expectations from the President, but the version of leadership isn’t what he and many others hoped for.
Veteran Hilda Dokubo, while calling for urgent government action and empathy, slammed the president for being detached from citizens’ suffering. The veteran stressed that she was more concerned about whether the government can effectively protect lives and property, adding that this is the question many Nigerians want answered.
