Why Abdulsalami Abubakar Led
Alison-Madueke To Beg
President Jonathan [MUST
READ Investigation]

by Musa Abdullahi

A former military Head of State, Gen.
Abdusalami Abubakar (retd.), on Thursday led
the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs.
Diezani Alison-Madueke, to a closed-door
meeting to beg President Goodluck Jonathan.
Sources tell NewsWireNGR that the President
had refused to see the one time powerful
minsters in his cabinet, shortly after
conceding defeat, Mrs Madueke was at the
Villa to meet the President over the outcome
of the Elections but was turned back.
“The President on hearing it was the
Petroleum Minister that was visiting, basically
screamed at the security agencies not to
allow her in, to everyones surprise, this is one
minister you don’t turn away her visits at the
Villa”, the anonymous source at the
Presidency said.
Diezani had been in the news lately when she
suddenly disappeared from the public and
was rumoured to have travelled abroad for
undisclosed reason. “After the shocker she
got from President Jonathan, it led to her trip
abroad, some her aides says the BCA
Reports on her seeking asylum was actually
correct seeing as Jonathan was no longer on
her side”.
An online media ran the report that she had
gone in search of asylum but that so far six
countries had denied her such request.
The NNPC however refuted the claim. It said
in a statement Wednesday that the minister
had travelled abroad to rest and would be
back this week.
Reports say that the oil minister has been
‘restless’ since General Muhammadu Buhari
defeated President Jonathan in the general
election and is billed to take office on May 29,
but more importantly, she’s been confused
why President Jonathan doesn’t want to see
her.
A photograph of the minister during her visit
to Abdulsalami’s house in Minna recently
went viral on the social media.
It was alleged that she went to seek for his
intervention, after Jonathan asked he didn’t
want to see her only days after the
Presidential elections.
Another close aide of the current
administration of President Jonathan tells
NewsWireNGR on condition that his name is
not mentioned that “Diezani contributed to
the failure of Jonathan during the elections,
her arrogance with almost everyone that
matters didn’t help”.
“While other ministers were trying to mend
fences to see that the President is in the good
books of those aggrieved with the
administration, the Petroleum Minister created
a ‘god complex’ around herself”.
The source narrates to us what really
transpired, he said Diezani is one of those
that caused the final face-off between
Jonathan and former President Olusegun
Obasanjo.
According to our sources, “Obasanjo had sent
the former NNPC GMD, Funsho Kupolokun, to
her office for a meeting, she did not only keep
the man waiting for more than four hours, she
went on to ask her aides to send him out
that she’s too busy”.
According to our insiders account, that action
angered the former President who then called
Jonathan to express his displeasure at the
way his Funsho was treated by one of his
ministers.
“I can go on and on to name the atrocities
Diezani committed, at some point she saw
herself as the President of Nigeria, if you read
Obasanjo’s book my watch, he stated it
clearly. he added.
Alison-Madueke arrived the Presidential Villa,
Abuja, last night for the meeting to beg Mr
President, about three minutes after Abubakar
made his way into the President’s office.
Less than 30 minutes after both of them
entered the President’s office, Abubakar
emerged, leaving Alison-Madueke behind.
“Sources insists that if Abdulsalami hadn’t
carried her along to the Presidential Villa,
there is possibly no way President would
have want to set his eyes on her again”.
Another member of the ruling PDP when
questioned about the role of the Petroleum
Minister noted, “Diezani did not release
money for anything, she kept if for herself,
even money that is normally taken from
leakages to fund campaigns, she allowed the
party to go on without funds”.
“If you noticed even up until when the
elections where postponed, PDP cordinators
weren’t having money to fund states to run
the President’s campaign, she ignores
everyone including the National chairman”.
Although, when State House correspondents
asked the former Head of State for the
purpose of his visit, the former military leader
said it was in continuation of his job as the
chairman of the National Peace Committee for
the 2015 General Elections.
“As the chairman of the peace committee,
there is always interaction between the
incoming president and President Jonathan, in
order to ensure that the peace we have been
able to get is sustained.
“So naturally, I am here to touch base with
him and also to give him a report of what the
committee has been doing,” he said.
When confronted with the issue of his recent
meeting with the minister and the fact that
they entered the President’s office almost the
same time, Abubakar said those reading
meanings into the visit were just being
mischievous.
He said he had met many times with Alison-
Madueke and other ministers, wondering why
the latest meeting became an issue.
He said, “I think people are just trying to be
mischievous, I have been meeting with a lot
of people and a lot of ministers in the course
of this transition. So there is nothing strange
in me meeting with anybody.
Abubakar said he had continued to meet
Jonathan and the President-elect for the
transition to go on smoothly and maintain the
peace.
On what will become of her after Jonathan,
another member of the ruling party said, “She
has started talking to the APC to refund some
of the money, before the elections, she had
spoken to Bukola Saraki and now
Abdulsalami is her mediator but i doubt
President Jonathan will be defending her from
the next administration.
