Former Head of State and chairman of the 2015 General elections Peace Committee, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar yesterday said he had not been intervening to stop the probe of any minister by the incoming government.

He spoke yesterday after a meeting at the Presidential Villa.

President-elect Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has declared his intention to investigate the activities of key ministries after his inauguration. Minister of Petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, was reported to be lobbying the former Head of State to intervene on her behalf.

Yesterday at the Villa, Gen. Abubakar and the minister arrived few minutes apart at President Goodluck Jonathan’s office at the Villa.

Gen Abdulsalami told reporters who asked him whether he attended a meeting with the minister of petroleum as part of the alleged plan tom intervene on her behalf: “I think people are just trying to be mischievous, I have been meeting with a lot of people and a lot of ministers in the course of this transition. So there is nothing strange in me meeting with anybody.

“I wonder if you go through the records to see the number of meetings I have been engaged in, I don’t know why the last one will be a subject of media chat.

“This is not the first time I have been meeting with her and a number of ministers, so I don’t see what the whole hullabaloo is all about. People are just being mischievous.”

On why he visited the President, he said: “As the chairman of the peace committee, there is always interaction between the incoming administration and President Jonathan in order to ensure that the peace we have been able to get is sustained.”

Asked if serving as intermediary between Buhari and Jonathan was necessary, he said: “I’m not serving as an intermediary. I told you I’m coming here as the chairman of peace committee and naturally we have to interact, I go and see Gen. Buhari and I also see the President all in an effort to make sure than that this transition goes on smoothly and we maintain the peace.”

So what have you been doing following them around town? Something that wasn't happening before the potential advent of the great general.

Well, maybe u are right, u are not trying to stop them from probe, u are trying to get them not to mention your name in the incoming storm!

Bunch of thieves.

explain better

then stay away from them please.

Pls don't, alloy the full weight of the Law to take it cause, b/c for every action, they must be a corresponding reaction. Their looting has resulted to the death of thousands of Nigerians. It's totally unaceptable.

Yet, you kept following her around. What for?

Oga Abudu calm down..
U want collect ur own retirement benefit frm Alison Madu-Efcc abii?

Better free that woman wey don prove that wat a man can do, a woman can do better..

Abdulsalam shouldn't soil his good name by trying to pervert the course of justice. Madueke, as a matter of national interest, has to answer to all the allegations that have been preferred against her. Can hardly wait to see the crook in jail.

Ok then, we are watching.

25k but it's negotiable u hia

I urge Gen. Abubakar to continue with his good job, many of us appreciate you.

The deal Abubakar secured for Jonathan is just for him and his wife. Now this woman want to be protected in the same Soft-landing Deal. Na she and Patience get Jona? See me see wahala ooh. Madam minister, Buhari will like to review your account records, brace up. Tomorrow is loaded.

If Alison like,she should seek Obama & Cameron's mediation in her matters to come,she can't just escape it. She needs to only answer some key questions. The answers given by her will determine the next lines of action,whether she will have to occupy a self contain apartment in the prison or not,we'll wait till after May29.

Liar

Buhari should beware of General Abdulsallam. He could be use as a bait to assassinate the General. This overfamiliarity by Abdulsallam is becoming too much. I pray GMB see May 29. God bless Nigeria.
