Photos of Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, former Nigerian Minister of Petroleum Resources that emerged from The Boss Newspaper, is looking more clearer than we thought at first. Yeah, she may have undergone Chemotherapy for her cancer, leading to her loss of hair, but she does not look terminal as not to stand trial for the crime she was accused of.
Even though she insists that she didn't steal the alleged billions they claimed she stole, I believe investigations and evidence are there for her to come and clear the air, rather than all these marketing gimmicks she seems to have embarked on.
In an interview with The Boss Newspaper, While trying to justify or exonerate herself from the stolen billions, Mrs Madueke said even President Muhammad Buhari as an oil minister (1976-1978) under then head of state, General Olusegun Obasanjo was accused of N2.8 billion fraud when same amount disappeared from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corpration’s (NNPC) Midlands Bank account in the UK.
She added, “Till this day no one has been able to prove that the then Major General stole a kobo.” She also named other former ministers who have been vilified to include Prof. Tam David West.
Madueke declared that the allegations of corruption against her are false, insisting that as a technocrat with sufficient experience at Shell, she was used to keeping proper accounts.
She insinuated that during her time as an oil boss she knew she stepped on some powerful toes both home and abroad just to ensure that Nigerians got the best deal.
