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