There was a mild drama at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja on Friday, as the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, ran to catch up with the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.

Both Buhari and the minister on Friday morning travelled out of the country to London on the same flight. One of our correspondents gathered that they both boarded a British Airways flight that left the airport at about 4.30am on its way to Heathrow Airport, London.

But while Buhari was going to board his flight, a mild drama took place at the airport.

Sources, who witnessed the drama, told one of our correspondents that the minister raced in a bid to catch up with Buhari, who had undergone airport screening before her.

It was learnt that the President-elect, who reportedly arrived the airport before the minister, was cleared first and he went straight into the aircraft.

It was further gathered that when Diezani arrived the airport and got news that Buhari had already boarded the flight, she hurriedly ran to ensure that she entered the plane.

In fact, sources at the airport stated that the petroleum minister left behind her aides while running to catch up with Buhari. A source on the ground, who witnessed the drama, said, “The man (Buhari) was at the front and had already passed the screening team. And immediately the woman (Diezani) came down, it was as if they told her that the President-elect was already inside the aircraft, so she started running. She even left her people behind so that she could board the flight along with the President-elect.

“This happened between 4am and 5am this (Friday) morning and the airline involved was British Airways. The flight was on its way from Abuja international airport to Heathrow Airport, London.”

An online medium, Sahara Reporters, reported on Friday that efforts of the minister, during the six-hour flight, to speak with Buhari failed.

According to the report, the President-elect only greeted Alison-Madueke during the boarding process.

It stated that the minister allegedly tried many times to stir a conversation with Buhari, but the latter shunned her.

The flight was reported to have arrived at Heathrow in London at 2:15pm, but the passengers disembarked at 2:45pm. The Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, refused to comment on the issues when contacted.Calls to the mobile phone of its spokesperson, Mr. Kingsley Agha, were ignored while a text message to him was not replied.

He was asked to explain why the minister travelled and her action at the airport.

But the media team of the President-elect issued a statement saying his visit to Britain was private.

In a statement signed by the head of Buhari’s media team, Malam Garba Shehu, this was the first of such visit outside the country since winning the March 28th presidential election.

The statement, which was issued in Abuja on Friday, partly read, “General Muhammadu Buhari will use the opportunity of the visit to take a much-deserved rest ahead of his inauguration on May 29.

“He is expected back in the country a few days before the inauguration, refreshed and ready to hit the ground running once he is sworn into office.”

Ha ha some old geezer needs a new pair of glasses, urgently.

When will the news papers stop lying

Were they acting catch me if u can ni ?

Excerpts of the 1914 amalgamation documents states that resources from the south should be used to develop the north to ensure balance between the two regions.Britain has made the north their pet region and have always supported them devotedly since then.Buhari is going to thank them for their support and also present programs of his incoming administration to them.

How are d mighty fallen.
Nigerian officials never learn that power is temporary and shd b used for d common good so that u wud remain loved after office.
See Diezanni now running after baba in public like a mad woman in d streets all because she saw power,fame and primitive accumulation of wealth as an end in itself.

But there cannot b peace for the corrupt any longer in Nigeria.If jail does not welcome them,their conscience will prick them till they run naked in the streets.

Waiting for them to come at punch as well with their usual lines: punch is APC propaganda media.

SR didn't even report the "sprinting" side of things before she boarded the plane.

Opolo eye don enter "One Chance" fight oo!!

But maybe she was only running because the flight might soon take off. Especially as president-elect was in already.

Guys...I have a confession to make....although I still remain a strong APC supporter...

But GEJ was right when he said Stealing is not Corruption, and he truly quoted the fmr CJN...it is unfortunate that GEJ never asked the for CJ n to explain that statement...hence it sounded foolish when GEJ tried to explain it.

Read my simple explanation from the CJN's perspective.

According to the laws of Nigeria, stealing/theft is a serious offence where the convict has no option of fine, but must be sentenced to 7yrs in prison on every count. E.g the poor guy who stole Aregbesola's phone was charged for stealing...he got 49yrs in jail straight on

Corruption on the other hand, according to the law, funny enough...is not a serious offence, so the convict has an option of fine at the rate of 25,000naira for every 1million naira "acquired corruptly"(not stolen...imagine)

So, if you charge somebody to court for stealing...he will be given 7yrs atleast
But if you charge him for corruption or what they now call money "laundering"...he gets a very funny punishment.

So the CJN was like "see...all those cases you people call corruption cases...they r purely stealing cases...sending them to court as corruption cases will not help you stop stealing.... Your excellency, stealing is not corruption, atleast until the anti corruption laws are amended by a non-corrupt legistlature"

This is my understanding...not quoting them verbatim...I hope we now agree...According to our laws...stealing is not corruption



I remain...soe....the NLer who knows every NLer by name
