No fewer than six countries have already refused to grant an asylum request by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, the Business Council for Africa (BCA) said in its just-released monthly report, noting that about US$ 1 trillion is the latest estimated figure of the looting of the Nigerian treasury between 1960 and 2005 alone.

The report, dated March 2015, focused extensively on Nigeria’s general elections. It said the notorious Minister, whose impunity is known to have been closely-protected by President Goodluck Jonathan, will be coming under the microscope for the first time in her Ministerial career.

“Given her reputation, it comes as no surprise to learn that 6 countries have already refused to grant her asylum to live in their countries as she now wishes to leave Nigeria at the earliest possible opportunity,” it said.

BCA recalled President-elect Muhammadu Buhari lamenting that the rest of the world looks at Nigeria as the home of corruption, one where stealing is not corruption but a way of life, and that his administration will pursue all public offices and individuals who are believed to be guilty of corruption.

It observed that despite an earlier promise, it is now understood that Buhari’s anti-corruption fishing net will include Ministers currently serving under President Goodluck Jonathan. Alison-Madueke’s departure from Nigeria is likely to be followed by several other PDP elders, party members and supporters as well as some former Government officials, as Buhari's anti-corruption drive will be far-reaching.

“It will be very interesting to learn in the coming months exactly how far back in Nigeria's history his administration will go in the pursuance of those who have robbed Nigeria of US$ 1 trillion, which is the latest estimated figure of theft from the Nigerian treasury between the period 1960-2005. Given that President Jonathan's administration is considered the most corrupt of any of its predecessors, that figure is going to be considerably magnified, but whether the new President will wish to pursue former Heads of State is a matter of interest and considerable debate to Nigerian observers. It is this subject that is primarily responsible for Buhari's success in winning the election as well as his campaign promises to eradicate Boko Haram, revive the economy and rebuild Nigeria to make its position as the number one country in Africa.

While BCA agreed that the March/April 2015 were “the most credible elections in Nigeria's history”, it said they could not be called the most incorruptible.

On the contrary, it referred to them as the worst because of the amount of money that the PDP so freely and openly spent on trying to secure the re-election of Mr. Jonathan.

“The stories and reports from throughout the 36 States of the amount of money distributed by the PDP to elders, rulers, church leaders, unions and youth leaders amongst others in an endeavour to favour the voters towards the PDP has backfired badly,” the report said.

BCA said that if the 2011 elections were considered bad, the 2015 elections will undoubtedly go down as the most corrupt in Nigeria's history, certainly since 1999, as the amount of money being distributed as bribes primarily by the PDP so very openly would readily confirm.

It reported that since November when campaigning began, President Jonathan and General Buhari during their travels made no fewer than 109 promises of what they intend to achieve if given the mandate in the presidential election.

“President Jonathan's campaign continued to hinge on his party's Transformation Agenda and the achievements of his Government in the last 4 years, particularly in the agricultural sector, job creation and the empowerment of women,” the report said. In that regard, it credited Jonathan as having achieved a great deal during his tenure.

It said it was however Jonathan’s failures - rampant corruption, insecurity, inability to eliminate the Boko Haram insurgency, failure in such sectors as the economy, and power in particular, and the overall feeling that he was ruled rather than led - that have cost him his re-election bid.

The report also stated that in the 2015 elections, up to 250 Nigerians lost their lives, describing that deplorable record as speaking volumes for the control achieved by the Police at the campaign rallies by the two main candidates.

It described the cost of the campaigns of the two main parties as “simply staggering”, noting that by the first week of March, Buhari had spent some N332.58 billion as compared to the expenditure of President Jonathan which amounted to N1.05 trillion.

“This is without taking into account the cost of other expenses for such items as campaign rallies, where the PDP has spent N1.06 billion against Muhammadu Buhari's APC's N595.08 million, and clearly demonstrates the desperate lengths that the PDP have gone to in order to try and secure the re-election of President Jonathan.”

ibiammurphy:
igbos especially Anambra people are the problem we have in Nigeria.they are responsible for all cases of corruption in this country and they're too tribalistic. i reside in Enugu u will even see how they discriminate against part of their people 'the so-called Abakaliki people'..Thank God for GMB OOO.she must be probed

*Maybe you should tell us why she was seeking Asylum EVERYWHERE or is she the only Minister in Jonathan's Govt?
*Maybe you should tell us why she was begging Abdusallami .... to help her BEG #SaiBaba?
*Maybe you should tell us why she thought it right to return her Private Jet, as a serving Minister, now!
*Maybe you should tell us Why she returned some of the looted $20Billion, to a Zenith Bank Account she setup for "Refund"!

Okay, that was harsh, "sawwy"..... continue to have your say, no matter how silly you come across.

GenBuhari:
story lacks credibility.

Mrs Madueke must be in the know about America's plan to stop Buhari

naijababe:
Making her a scape goat! Nada is going to happen to that woman, unless 90% of 'Nigerian big men' are going to jail.

callmenow:
Rubbish speculation. Why should she request asylum if she had money? It only costs $250,000 to get residency in most countries in the world. This includes the U.S. and the EU countries. Don't forget that she is the chairman of OPEC and a lot of inter-governmental organisations. By the way BCA is a non-serious organisation that is virtually moribund based in the backwaters of London.

Hahaha! Nada? You know her husband served under Buhari's regime in the 80s?

She knows how Buhari and the team he is bringing on will be relentless this time around. No one will be let off the hook this time around.

mcgaius:
Nigeria has to elect another president because Everybody is going to Kirikiri including GMB (2 bill usd ptf), tinubu, GEJ,obj, atiku, otedola, fashola, deziani, sanusi, Amechi etc

ozoigbondu:
l don't do sahara reporters but i detest that crook called dezani with her big egg eyes.That woman deserves to be placed in solitary confinment in any maximum security prison for stealing with impunity .

First buhari adminstation should do is to probe and prosecute this woman

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
You are prone to believe the lies propagated by Saharareporters hence the ability to critically analyze intentions and makeup lies are lost.

This is what absolute antagonism does to intellectuals. Kills their subjectivity.

Sweetguy25:
Sahara reporters are the political telemundo.

Seriously though, the PIB should be passed and NNPC be privatised. That's the only solution to these corruption rumours towards every minister of petroleum.
The minister of petroleum under Buhari will also be accused of corruption. It will never end until we liberalise the oil sector.

The oil industry globally is actually one of the most corrupt and we can't shield ourselves from this by having a nationalised oil company like NNPC. The corruption scandal rocking Petrobras is a pointer.

I remember that Obasanjo was President and petroleum minister for so almost eight years. There was kind of corrupt allegation that was not thrown at Obasanjo and the ministry of petroleum. .

Allegations of corruption will never end in Nigeria until we setup proper structures and systems while empowering them with the right people to ensure that they're sustainable.
