7 Crimes Of Diezani Alison-Madueke
1. Petrol subsidy scam
The monumental, unimaginable fraud of the century, the so-called petroleum subsidy at the inception of Goodluck Jonathans administration is bound to top any list comprising institutional and official robbery in a governmental setting.
2. Private Jet Charter Scam
We are curious to know the real reasons why NNPC underwent an influx of group managing directors (GMDs) and other top officials in a single term of Goodluck Jonathan and Diezani Allison-Madueke’s tenure.
4. Kerosene Subsidy Scam
The following findings on the fraudulent issue of kerosene subsidy were reported in the report by the committee on payment of fuel subsidies after the 2012 uprisings triggered by the monumental oil subsidy scam. Aigboje Aig-lmoukhuede chaired the committee.
The committee’s report findings say “…in spite of a directive issued by President Yar’Adua on June 15, 2009 that NNPC should cease subsidy claims on kerosene, PPPRA resumed the processing of kerosene subsidy claims in June 2011 and NNPC resumed the deduction of kerosene subsidy claims to the tune of N331, 547,318,068.06 in 2011.
In 2013, the loudest whistle was blown by the former Governor of Central Bank, Emir Sanusi Lamido, pointing out the case of missing and unremitted oil proceeds by NNPC to the federation account from the period of January 2012 to July 2013.
The former CBN governor accused NNPC of failing to remit $20 billion to the national account at the senate public hearing on the issue on February 4, 2014.
The governor said NNPC exported $67 billion worth of crude oil but it only remitted $47 billion into the federation account from the of January 2012 to July 2013.
The committee set up by the senate to investigate these serious claims turned out to be a group of biased agents on the side of the accused culprits, and as such, had no authentic explanation on the matter.
Even at the tail end of the petroleum minister’s regime, reports of fraudulent schemes from her office are not slowing down. It’s alleged that the petroleum resources minister has obtained the oil mining licence; OML 40 and OML 42 owned by the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC). The minister has transferred the ownership of the licences to a private company that is closely linked to her, according to an investigation by a media house.
Even in the midst of all the uproar in this last hour of Jonathans’s administration, the minister is said to be plotting and making deals for herself.
The public is curious to understand why the president has insisted on keeping the controversial petroleum minister in spite of all the strong allegations against her. Jonathan continued to turn a blind eye to all these issues, even as they badly affected the country’s image. The petroleum minister, over the past five years of this administration had displayed an uncommon level of power by her actions. It is said that the minister has an upper hand in national matters. At a point, she was almost operating as a proxy Commander-in-Chief. The president is extremely weak towards the Minister of Petroleum Resources. Some members of the Federal Executive Council have leaked information on the embarrassing manner the minister behaved in meetings, especially in the early years of the regime.
