Minister/$6Billion: US State Department denies Oshiomhole’s $6B story, asked him to name the US-Official–Reports

New York[RR]Washington-DC–Edo State governor who accompanied Buhari in 4-days State visit to United States has alleged that A minister who served under the former Goodluck Jonathan administration, stole $6billion (more than N1.2 trillion), he told Reporters on Monday.

But quick contact with United States Department in Washington-DC, on the matter said it is false allegation. US State Department denied the story, asked Oshiomhole, to name the official and not drag United States into Nigeria domestic politics, Republic Reporters gathered.

Oshiomhole who failed to disclose the name of the minister said the details were provided last week by United States officials during President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit there. Mr. Oshiomhole, who was part of the delegation, did not give the name of the minister.

“We have moved away from a president that doesn’t seem to know his powers to one that understands that he is a president of the country in the continent,” Mr. Oshiomhole said in response to criticisms of the trip by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.

He spoke on Monday at the state house where he and the Kebbi State governor, Atiku Bagudu, as members of the APC governors’ forum, briefed President Buhari on the outcome of a discussion held with APC Senators Sunday.

“PDP destroyed the country- I mean from the lips of American officials; senior officials of the state department. They said one minister under PDP cornered as much as $6billion, and the man said even by Washington standard that is earth-quaking,” he said.

He said the country was being very patient with the PDP; otherwise Nigerians would have been “stoning” anyone carrying the badge of the party.

Mr. Oshiomhole said the PDP government plundered Nigeria, destroyed its institutions, damaged the military, converted the NTA to a party megaphone, destroyed the SSS, went after opposition, and compromised even student unions.

Mr. Oshiomole said under the PDP, there was no law as they were law to themselves. “We are a very patient people. If we were not a patient people, anybody wearing the tag of PDP ought to feel very unsafe because you are all victims- all of us here,” he said.

He quoted American officials as saying that Mr. Jonathan was seen as a confused president who did not know what they issues were, leaving others outside the country “frustrated”.

Recalling a chat with the US Assistant Secretary of State, Johnnie Carson, on the difference between the two administrations, Mr. Oshiomhole said Mr. Carson told him that each time they thought that there was light at the end of the tunnel for Nigeria and it is time to encourage them to build on it, “you we would wake up the following day under president Jonathan to find out that even the tunnel had been removed”.

“Now last week, this same Carson cheered the president’s address at the Institute of Peace. And he said ‘we now have a man of enormous integrity; one that has shown so much faith in the democratic process; one that refused to be frustrated even in the face of massively rigged elections,” he said.

This was apparently made up by PDP. I don't believe this crap.

hhhmmmm

Oshio mumu


Too much Iara kitten don turn ya head

What did these team of one chance really mean with GEJ? It's because the man is humble or what, let them leave his past administration to rest joor. See me see oshe too.

The lying bug has bitten and infected a once revered Comrade governor.

Not really surprised because lying has become APC trademark. I hope this is not the change they promised Nigerians.

Here we go again! Good governance is not measured by how much propaganda the populace are subjected to.

It is utterly embarrassing the way things are at the moment. Today this, tomorrow a distorted or totally different version.

APC, be the change you preach!

Whoever takes that monkey seriously should have his/her head examined.

I'm only waiting to see how fast his akwuna wife will dump him soon. Shebi his tenure don dey finish.

I wouldn't know about that. But, in as much as she is a 'nobody' without Osho, she might just settle with him, and his loot.

Mtshew! Empty report. Someone just sat down in his/her room to concoct this as a counter to oshiomhole's comments

I said it that Lady he got married to is making his head swear up. Oshiomhole oya over to you. When you kill bird, you name it. You have killed a bird, just name it.

Believe this crap and believe an ostrich flew across Antarctica. The quote below are the only lines the propaganda article could muster as regards statement from the "State Department":

But quick contact with United States Department in Washington-DC, on the matter said it is false allegation. US State Department denied the story, asked Oshiomhole, to name the official and not drag United States into Nigeria domestic politics, Republic Reporters gathered.

Very pedestrian! Anyone could simply type this trash, blend it with an actual report full of verifiable quotes and make such a lie appear like a hard truth.

Every other thing written is a pile of what Oshiomole said, no mention of the name of the person they spoke to in their imaginary state department, no mention of the phone number through which they spoke to the state department. Pretty much believe if they released the number and one dials it, the voice at the other end would be Metuh's.

They tend to think everyone is as foolish as the Wailers.
