Report according to Omogist.com suggests that the Nigerian Petroleum Minister and the Chairman Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Diezani Alison Madueke may have allegedly refunded the whooping some of $16million US dollar to the coffer of the commission.
According to our source, the refund was as a result of a plea intervention of former Military head Abdulsalam Abubakar. The $16million was allegedly traced to Zenith bank.
Our source stated that a top security source who pleaded anonymity, said General Abdulsalami Abubakar, Nigeria’s former head of state pleaded with General Buhari not to prosecute the petroleum minister, a situation which led to the refund of $16milion last week, which was allegedly traced to the bank.
Uneasy calm and general apprehension have gripped the management of Zenith Bank Plc, following the reported refund of $16million out the $20billion allegedly stolen from the coffers of the Nigeria National Petroleum, NNPC by the management of the corporation.
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, a former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Governor, now Emir of Kano, was replaced by Godwin Emefiele as central Bank Governor after he (Sanusi) allegedly raised an alarm over the non remittance of $20 billion oil money to the treasury.
Sanusi, who was relatively unknown at the time, was made the governor of CBN after Professor Charles Soludo’s inglorious exit from Nigeria’s apex bank.
But he was to be replaced by Emefiele, who was the managing director of Zenith bank before his appointment.
With the conclusion of the 28 March presidential election in Nigeria which President Goodluck Jonathan of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP lost to the Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) of the All Progressive Congress, APC, embattled petroleum minister, Ms. Deziani Allison-Madueke, has since commenced on a shuttle between Nigeria and abroad.
Until the conclusion of the presidential election, the President of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC had allegedly embarked on shenanigans and illegal stunts in an alleged bid to stop the National Assembly from investigating her roles in the sordid disappearance of the funds.
According to a security source who pleaded anonymity, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, Nigeria’s former head of state pleaded with General Buhari not to prosecute the petroleum minister, a situation which led to the refund of $16milion last week, which was allegedly traced to Zenith Bank.
According to our source, the appointment of Godwin Emefiele as the CBN governor may not be unconnected to the sordid transactions between the bank and the Jonathan led administration.
Sources within the presidency told our correspondent that Ms. Allison-Madueke had allegedly masterminded Emefiele’s appointment and even handpicked him to occupy the post in a bid to cover up her shady deals.
And the highly controversial minister is now said to be on ‘medical tourism’ outside the country, a situation which our source revealed is a move to stall her arrest after the 29 May hand over.
Several calls and text messages sent to the embattled minister to get her reaction did.
