President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that he is unable to prosecute the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Deizani Alison-Madueke and other petroleum workers over what he tagged lack of evidence.

The President made this known in London, during an exclusive interview with Peter Okwoche of the BBC, after attending a conference on the ongoing Syrian crisis.

Okwoche in a series of tweet after the interview quoted the President to have said, “To prosecute corruption successfully we need evidence. That’s not easy especially in petroleum sector.”

Buhari had threatened to prosecute all those who dipped their hand into the nation’s wealth for private use and among those brandished and suspected to be prosecuted is the immediate past petroleum Minister.

Post-Nigeria gathered that despite heightened tension and anxiety over her possible investigation, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, has been unable to put up valid prove to justify all forms of allegations against her.

Buhari unwilling to give up on his search for evidence has unwittingly admitted that there was no form of evidence privy to his government against Mrs. Madueke and as such vindicated her from diverse alleged corrupt malpractices leveled against her by Nigerians.

On the report that she is seeking asylum in some foreign countries, in order to avoid been probed, Mrs. Madueke has reiterated in many fora that the consistent malicious and libelous attacks on her person was due to the reforms she brought to the oil and gas sector which was not favorable to some cabals in the country.

“Let me state it clearly for the records that Nigeria is my country and am not going anywhere. I love my country and I do think that I have done the best for my country.

“For everything that has a beginning there is an end and that is not a surprise. What is the surprise is the sort of malevolence bordering on personal malicious libel to my person during this period of time.

“I do believe that I have done the best for Nigeria in this job and I have attained many firsts in the history of oil and gas, especially in the reforms that we have done. In this period of time, I have stepped on many big toes, particularly the feet of the cabal in the industry when we came in.

“I have said severally that we will open up the industry to all Nigerians and we have, but that is not to the pleasure of certain cabal. And I have been continuously maligned because of this and we have taken millions and in fact, billions of dollars out of the hands of multinationals and their sub-contractors and put them in the hands of Nigerians through Nigerian content.

“Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians have come into the oil and gas industry because of our reforms.” She stated.

How did she cover her trracks?who helped her?..
ngozi

even tho i dnt like bulshit,propaganda,lies,deceit,selective probing.
I still insist that dezieny embezled public funds .
Yes she did

I knew Buhari and his co-charlatans have no evidence against Diezani, Jonathan and Iwuala.

The sad truth is that Buhari and APC are not ready for governance and by extension are confused on how to govern, and In order to hide their incompetence they embarked on a media frenzy in the guise of fighting corruption.

I only feel sorry for the average Nigerian who has been used and dumped and is being used again.

Shut up there! If Buhari really wants to jail her he would do so whether by hook or crook. Or is he not a tyrant again? Wailers are extremely confused.

@topic now whether we like it or not there is nothing we can do since there is no evidence. This is what the wailers can't just emulate. They will say amaechi and tinubu are corrupt but non of them has ever provided any evidence against them. Foolish people

for real??

GBAM!! All APC know how to do is to post pictures of the former dictator sitting at a table, walking on a road, signing a paper, even using toilet, and them go put "my amiable president".

In a bid to make her loose guard so that they can infilterate her camp and get the facts out... Probing the oil sector will surely be another seasonal battle but before then... Got Haliburton on my mind... We'll never forget this 21st century rape on our common wealth easily

Condemning everybody through the media yet unable to produce real convict. Imagine accusing, trying and convicting somebody for stealing $2.1b through the media but going to court to just charge him for mismanaging millions of Naira. One begins to wonder where most of these figures are manufactured from.

:oIt's a lie ooooo

Really? No evidence?
And they have been quoting huge figures (amount of money) up and down? Buhari and his people are using their own hands to make a joke of their so-called anti-corruption campaign.
It is corruption to accuse someone of an offence without evidence.

This is a national embarrassment to Nigeria. You tell the whole world that someone stole huge amounts of money only to say later that there is no evidence. And you expect the world to take you seriously?

...but why is this Buhari like thus. Without a Tg thorough investigation you malign a person character. This is the same approach when he was a military dictator, hounding everybody into jail, this is not fair.
If this man doesn't start implementing his campaign promises after one year in office, Nigerians must start to demand for it. We are no more fools, you can just take power and telling stories how Nigerians are corrupt yet you have not prosecuted a single corrupt person.

The treacherous south won't like this news.

Buhari don't want to lose the oil wealth of the better south. That's why he has soft pedal.

Hahahahahahaha

Watch how the treacherous south will react to this news

God bless the better south

See one of the treacherous south.

He still thinks Buhari is serious in confronting the better south after suffering oil loss in the hands of militants.

You want to probe a former petroleum minister, former director at Shell Petroleum, former OPEC president and wife of a former chief of Naval staff...Rear Admiral Allison Madueke (Buhari,IBB,Abacha mate...privy to Buhari deeds as Petroleum Minister)? Do you know the amount of evidence she has on Buhari when he was Petroleum minister? I assure you her team has tendered to expose Buhari, all of sudden, Buhari says there is no evidence. If you knew there was no evidence in the first instance, why begin the media war on her? Don't be fooled people with this all of a sudden 360 degree decision not to probe her. SHE HAS THREATENED TO EXPOSE ALL, INCLUDING BUHARI...HIS DEEDS AS PETROLEUM MINISTER! Gullible Nigerians!

I don't have a problem with probes, investigations, e.t.c. what I am saying is...DON'T BE CORRUPT YOURSELF AND PRETEND TO BE FIGHTING CORRUPTION.

The reason is because Deizani is in a civilised country where you need evidence before you arrest people willy nillly

Ibrahim Magu and his team clearly have failed to present any facts to London met

If that lady was in Naija EFCC would have arrested her lock her up and then go looking for evidence while they place a 1 trillion naira bail on her

I follow say sorry to the brainwashed elements believing Buhary is fighting corruption.

You don't fight corruption on the pages of newspapers by making unnecessary media noise and media trial.

Buhary + APC is a complete SCAM!

This government uses lies to paint people bad before investigation.
Why not find your facts before going to the media to paint them evil?
How do you want us now to believe that you ever had a good motive for your actions?
One day the truth will come out.

For those who really want heads to roll. it may be your turn one day and they will never give you a fair hearing.

If you praise this government for condemning people in the media before gathering their facts and evidence, may such also be your portion.

One day, you will be accused, condemned and sentenced without giving you the opportunity to defend yourself.

Whatever measure you use on others, someone someday will use same on you. Amen

I had this same argument with some stewpid people recently. This is democracy, how can you prosecute someone without evidence? Yet, they say Buhari is a dictator and a tyrant.

I wonder when Nigeria politicians will stop fighting political enemies just to score a point.you can't convict somebody without strong evidence with reasons in a court.Starting from her private jet maintenance blohahah to her London arrest.It was obvious the cabals she offended wanted to pull her down as pay back.Her ordeal in the petroleum sector affected even foreign multinationals.Diezani your ordeal with the cabals is not yet over.They will try but will surely fail if your hands are clean.

Exclusive interview my Boxer! No be only exclusive na inclusive. Yeye dey smell. One yeye wailer dey one corner dey write nonesense, dey call am exclusive & some wailing buffoooons dem dey buttlick am.
No be lie na true!

the interview quoted the President to have said, “To prosecute corruption successfully we need evidence. That’s not easy especially in petroleum sector.”

This doesn't equate lack of evidence rather it highlights the challenges of getting evidence.
Edited
I see the mods have altered the thread title to a more sensible title. Good job.

Jonathan ran a govt lacking transparency in every realm.

I hope those claiminhg that Buhari ant-corruption fight is an act vendetta would some sense to reason now. Buhari in fearness does not intend to wage war against anyone without proof unlike some people making allegations of corruption on people like Amaechi and others without proof, baba and his party has proven again to have more honour than many of you.

Yes. We all wanted and supported the anti corruption war but warned against the assassination of people's character on the pages of newspapers and blogs. We told them it's innocent until proven guilty and not the other way round but the APC folks abused and maligned us. Now it has happened.

You're dealing with someone who rose to the position of the first female member serving as a director on the board of the SPDC. Did she bribe her way through?

Despite the despicable manner her name was treated by the zombies, they've got NO evidence of corruption concerning her. Emotions aren't required in the interpretation of the law. Or does she have access to some information that will be damaging to the image of the President?

Let's be circumspect as we deal with people. Let's wait till they're proven guilty before a court of law before we start killing them on the pages of newspapers.

Lalasticalala, Deziani's ordeals were here on the front page. Her innocence should also dance to the front page.

I have the evidence to bring her down... Just tell ur daughter zara to b mine and boom! U wil get the evidence...kikikiki

It is very sad that we have a dull, daft & dumb Confused One in charge of our federal administration till May 29, 2019.
Very sad.
Has he been able to SUCCESSFULLY prosecute just one single person for corruption one whole year after he ran a campaign on eradicating corruption in our country?
No. He has NOT!!!
This self-confessed NON-performer simply took his 200 million fellow citizens for FOOLS, walahi.

If this report is true, then this whole corruption war has a big question mark hanging over it.

In short, Mallam Sanusi is confirmed liar by this.
