| Nigeria Former Petroleum Minister Deizani Alison-Madueke |
Embattled former
Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, says she is not taking allegations
of massive corruption leveled against her by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission lightly.
She accused the
EFCC of taking advantage of her silence all this while to put her on media trial.
She said given the
“level of deliberate inaccuracies”, she is now forced to break her silence and
respond to some issues.
She specifically
denied ever withdrawing $153million from the accounts of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation NNPC while in office and said the Yenagoa estate, which
the EFCC ascribed to her is her family’s compound built in 2011.
The EFCC,
according to her, is only out to convict her in the court of public opinion
based on false reports.
The ex-Minister
said despite the criticism of her tenure, she left $5.6billion LNG dividends
for the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
