Just as the dust raised by the statement credited to Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole over the $6 billion dollars allegedly stolen by a former minister in the administration of former President, Goodluck Jonathan, Another prominent Nigerian, Queen Zainab Duke-Abiola, the Akasoba of Kalabari land in the Niger Delta, has said she had evidence from the White House that a former Petroleum Minister stole $9.3 billion.

Duke Abiola, one of the wives of the late Chief MKO Abiola, in an exclusive interview with The Nation, said: “According to the information available to us, the minister stole more than $9 billion; not Australian dollars, but US dollars.”

“And what I am saying is that the money should be used to develop the Niger Delta. Use this to help the impoverished Niger Deltans,” she added.

On her ability to prove the allegation, she said she was in Washington DC during President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit, and that she met with White House officials who revealed the information to her.

“My relationship with White House is over 30 years. Americans are very eager to make sure that the money gets back. They want Nigeria to use that money for education,” she said.

The former presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party also insisted that Buhari’s delegation to Washington DC was aware of the exact amount stolen by the former minister.

“Oshiomhole said it’s about $6 billion. Information available to me states that the minister and her associates siphoned away $9.3 billion. I’m watching the game that they’re playing. If they don’t publish the evidence, I have document to support this,” she said.

According to her, members of the presidential delegation were focusing on the $6 billion allegedly stolen by a minister in former President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet, leaving out “the remaining $3.3 billion” because some people from a section of the country are involved.

“If Buhari is not sure of his fact and figures, he should go back to Washington DC. If I read in the papers that they say $9 billion, I would keep quiet. But why are they saying only $6 billion?”

“All I want is that this money should be used to help the less privileged, especially in the Niger Delta. Give these people fishing nets. Build some bridges for them. Clean up their rivers so they can fish once more, so they can have food on their tables once more. Build cottage industries for them. Put up little clinics as much as you can. In fact, we’re talking about $9.3 billion, so build a John Hopkins hospital. Build a UCH replica in the Niger Delta. If there’s some extra money use it to help other regions,” she said.

The Akasoba said she was shocked when she received the evidence from the White House.

“Some people said that much money couldn’t have been stolen, I was one of those who didn’t believe. When they gave me the document, I was shocked. I have sent it to the appropriate Niger Delta elders. So, we know that nobody is accusing anybody wrongly,” she said.

It will be recalled that Governor Adams Oshiomhole, on Monday, alleged that a minister, who served under the former President stole $6 billion, quoting US officials to support his claim but did not name the particular minister.

“The man said even by Washington standard, that is earth-quaking.

“So, PDP is a party that presided over the liquidation of our nation; destroyed all our institutions; converted the Armed Forces commanders to use them as if they were political thugs; convertedNTA to a party megaphone; destroyed the SSS; went after opposition as if we were rabbits to be pursued into our holes; compromised even student unions and destroyed everything that you can think of; and elevated religion to a state affair.

“Under the party, Israel became a place you visit every week; they placed pastors against mallams, placed North against South, East against West – just to retain power; elevated Obas and Obis with dollars,” Oshiomhole said.

No, Jonathan's administration was bad and terrible

Jona and his ministers.. I swear una go defend them tire

Even the criminals cannot defend themselves, yet some e-wailers will be ranting on social media, in their defence.

GEJ - The most corrupt president in nigeria's history.

"Stealing is not corruption" - GEJ.

"How much did Nwobodo stole that Buhari jailed him?" - GEJ.

"GEJ's Administration - An Ally of Corruption" - NL's Chief Wailer and Protection Seeker.

I think it was $96 billion that was stolen by Jonathan and his ministers.

APC and buharu should lock up the basterd GEJ and his ministers immediately.

"According to her, members of the presidential delegation were focusing on the $6 billion allegedly stolen by a minister in former President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet, leaving out “the remaining $3.3 billion” because some people from a section of the country are involved"
I so much love the above paragraph.

He who must go to equity, MUST go with clean hands. Let anybody involved be brought to bare. Spare anybody and incubate corruption to surface later.
Buhari go clean and fight corruption with sincerity as you promised, do not be selective in the fight.

U becoming too sentimental on this forum, u really need to change

Buhari should do everything humanly possible to ensure Opollo Eyes doesn't die, even if it takes bringing aliens from Pluto to treat her.

These guys have stolen so much they could actually build an army the size and sophistication of ISIS to wage war against the State. There's no gainsaying these guys are the muscles behind the activities of some amorphous groups, both violent and otherwise, waging proxy wars against the new government.

Buhari should make haste to bring them to book.

Since I was born and now I am getting old I ve never seen Nigeria changing brother / sister have you seen?

PLEASE THEY SHOULD NOT TELL US THRASH AGAIN WE ARE TIRED OF HEARING HOW MUCH WAS STOLEN. THEY SHOULD GO AHEAD AND DO THE NEEDFUL, IF THEY HAVE THEIR FACT AND STOP COMPLAINING. MTEWWWW

PROUD WAILER

Jonathan and his ministers truly believed the PDP would reign till thy kingdom come with each government covering up the last's atrocities.

How do they even go to sleep knowing they are sitting on a nations commonwealth, so much that their unborn generations cannot exhaust. We are talking trillions here.

There should be no resource spared or mercy given in the repatriation of our commonwealth and firm punishment of the wicked thieves.

U need to improve in ur reasoning faculty.u sounded so dumb

Isn't she the same woman who was denied presidential nomination form even after paying for it in PDP?

Damn! The woman really have guts!

I like her Jare!

I believe Buhari knows all these, that's why he keeps doing what he is doing without listening to anyone, especially critics.

He needs to first of all restructure EFCC and ICPC for the big chase and fight, it's gonna get dirty, for now, we hope this fight will go even beyond the federal into the states, to uncover what the governors and their commissioners and aides have done. Nigeria needs urgent cleansing now...

Sit tight and observe, Buhari appealed to the G-7 nations for support and he also approached Obama personally, he knows why, people are gonna run and seek asylum... We need their help to safely bring them back to us for justice...

what the heck are you talking about?
The woman is PDP and a ijaw royal. She is better placed than most to speak on behalf of her people
Family member to the late Harry marshal
We are beginning to hear the voices of the decent majority whose voices have been drowned out by thugs , criminal ,touts and men of loose morals.
I can listen to her ( just like itse sagay) all day long
The woman is well groomed and educated . You need to check out her command of the English language ( which is intimidating to some people ) , her grasp of the issues and her communication skills .

this woman said that Jonathan was the unintended and undeserving recipient of the struggle of the people.
she is right.
