THE PFIPC SCANDAL (PART 3)

The Questions That Refuse to Disappear

Every major scandal leaves behind two stories.

The first is the official story.

The second is the story that the unanswered questions continue to tell.

Today, the government says PFIPC never existed.

The alleged Director-General says otherwise and will have the opportunity to defend himself in court.

The judiciary—not social media—will determine criminal responsibility.

But there are questions that belong not only in the courtroom, but also in the court of public accountability.

Who verified the appointment?

Who approved official correspondence?

Who accepted documents without raising concerns?

Who failed in their oversight responsibilities?

And if there were officials who knowingly assisted the process, will they also face investigation?

These questions matter because governments are judged not only by how they expose alleged wrongdoing, but also by whether they hold every responsible person accountable.

Justice is complete only when accountability is complete.

If this was a massive institutional failure, Nigerians deserve reforms.

If it involved collaboration from within government, Nigerians deserve transparency.

Either way, the public deserves the full story.

History teaches us that scandals are not remembered because one person was accused.

They are remembered because institutions either confronted the truth—or tried to move past it without answering the difficult questions.

The PFIPC controversy is now bigger than one individual.

It has become a test of transparency, accountability, and the integrity of Nigeria’s public institutions.

The question remains:

Will Nigerians get the complete story, or only the convenient one?
