Controversy has engulfed prominent figures linked to Gbajabiamila and Adeyemi, with Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims leadership of an organization established in 2024, emerging as a central voice in the unfolding drama. Adeyemi has openly alleged that the government is deploying defensive tactics aimed at silencing him. He maintains that his organization operates legitimately and insists the current administration is using various mechanisms to suppress scrutiny.

At the heart of the matter lies a critical question regarding regulatory oversight. Mr. Kashifu, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Information Technology Development Agency, NITDA, oversees the approval and issuance of .gov.ng domains, which are strictly reserved for official government entities and parastatals. According to standard procedures, private individuals cannot directly procure such domains. Only authorized government agencies may apply through NITDA after due verification.

This has raised serious concerns about how Adeniyi Mathew Adeyemi’s organization reportedly secured a .gov.ng domain if it is indeed a non-governmental or “fake” parastatal as alleged by critics. The apparent lapse in checks and balances has intensified public demand for transparency and accountability. Observers are questioning the internal processes at NITDA that permitted the registration without adequate validation of the entity’s status.

Adeyemi has maintained a firm stance, reiterating that the accusations against him form part of a broader effort to discredit his work and organization. The scandal continues to attract attention across political and technology circles in Nigeria, with calls for a thorough investigation into the domain approval process and the relationships surrounding the case. Authorities are yet to issue an official response to the growing allegations.
