The type of stealing and corruption going on in
the Federal Government of Nigeria is mind
boggling.
Information available to our correspondent
suggests that a mind boggling sum of $700
million was allegedly found in the house of
Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs.
Diezani Alison Madueke.
According to information from an impeccable
source, the huge sum in foreign currency was
discovered recently by some security agents
while conducting a search of the house of one
her aides who resides in the ministers house but
allegedly stole $10 million from the Minister.
Maduaeke according to source admitted to the
ownership huge sum of $700 million. “ she
must have kept that very particular money
in her aide’s apartment, because the
unnamed aide is said to be one of the
trusted one among others”, our source
stated.
It was further gathered that when this was
reported to President Goodluck Jonathan, the
president felt so sad and disappointed, he
immediately invited Diezani Alison Madueke to his
office for questioning and rebuked her severely.
President Jonathan asked the Minister “for God
sake what are you doing with $700 million in
your home?” Mrs . Madueke retorted “I am
keeping the money for you”.
We gathered that President Jonathan just smiled
and promptly asked her to go in peace.
President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration has
been criticize by many Nigeria as being the most
corrupt considering the president’s stance on
corruption.
The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders has chided
President Goodluck Jonathan over his
unwillingness to tackle corruption in the country.
According to the group, corruption is the biggest
problem the country is facing, besides the Boko
Haram insurgency.
CACOL’s Executive Chairman, Debo Adeniran, told
SUNDAY PUNCH there was an urgent need to
tackle the problem.
“It is a known fact that corruption is the
greatest problem confronting our country
Nigeria, thus if combated frontally, it would
definitely put an end to many other
challenges facing us as a people,” he said.
