Thin on the right so far

None of the 6 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

A Nigerian House of Representatives ad hoc committee has released preliminary findings from its investigation into the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). The committee reported that the PFIPC had no legal establishment, citing forged presidential documents, a mutilated Act of the National Assembly, and the unauthorised use of senior government officials’ identities.

The committee, chaired by Yusuf Gagdi, linked approximately 58 bank accounts to Adeniyi Adeyemi, who presented himself as the council’s director-general. It also identified about 12 fake agencies or entities associated with the PFIPC. The panel cleared Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila of involvement, stating that evidence showed he acted against the fake agency after concerns were raised.

The investigation followed the inclusion of the PFIPC in the 2026 federal budget, which allocated about ₦1.3 billion to the council. The committee noted a reported ₦27.4 billion take-off grant but said it was still determining whether any funds were disbursed. The findings are preliminary and do not represent the committee’s final report.

Questions about this coverage

How did the left and right cover Nigeria House panel finds 58 accounts linked to PFIPC head Adeniyi…?
Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 50% are rated left, 50% are rated centre, 0% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 31. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
Is Nigeria House panel finds 58 accounts linked to PFIPC head Adeniyi… left or right?
Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 6 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
Is the coverage of Nigeria House panel finds 58 accounts linked to PFIPC head Adeniyi… biased?
Nigeria House panel finds 58 accounts linked to PFIPC head Adeniyi Adeyemi is one event reported by 31 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
Which side is not reporting Nigeria House panel finds 58 accounts linked to PFIPC head Adeniyi…?
