Another witness has emerges with solid evidence from White House
Just after the statement of Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomh's that over $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.
Can she 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.
She continued, “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 documente to support this,” she said.
“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?”
The woman 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 added
