Immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has offered to refund the sum of $250 million dollars to the Nigerian government in return for immunity from further investigation and possible prosecution, SaharaReporters has learned. However, her overture has reportedly received a cold response from President Muhammadu Buhari.

A source in Aso Rock and a ranking member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) told our correspondent that the former minister has been reaching out to influential government and ruling party officials, in and outside Abuja, to prevail on President Buhari to accept her offer and let bygones be bygone. According to our sources, Mrs. Alison-Madueke had enlisted the support of several figures close to Mr. Buhari, including Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, to intercede with the incumbent president.

Mrs. Alison-Madueke was one of the closest ministers to former President Goodluck Jonathan, and is reputed to have anchored and facilitated numerous money-laundering scandals and deals that characterized the era of the just-ended Jonathan administration. The former Petroleum Minister oversaw several oil swap deals, the disposition of oil wells handed over by Shell Petroleum to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and the direct looting of funds through the NNPC. Former Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, was forced out of office after he revealed that the NNPC had failed to remit more than $20 billion in oil revenues with the CBN.

The former Petroleum Minister is the latest of several officials who served under Mr. Jonathan’s government that are currently negotiating “soft landing deals” with the Buhari administration. The incumbent president, who was sworn in on May 29, 2015, has vowed to probe various questionable financial actions taken by his successor or officials of his government. Mr. Buhari is reportedly determined to recover billions of dollars in stolen funds.

One source said Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s latest offer to refund at least $250 million to the government came after she learned that President Buhari’s scheduled meeting with US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, would include a discussion of ways that the US government could facilitate the investigation, arrest and prosecution of some officials of the Jonathan administration implicated in the theft of billions of dollars and a variety of frauds that resulted in the loss of significant sums of public funds in Nigeria.

SaharaReporters exclusively reported earlier in the week that the former Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has been cooperating with the Buhari administration’s ongoing, if quiet, probe of a series of questionable financial transactions by the Jonathan administration.

Our sources revealed that Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala had given the Buhari administration documents that expose a number of shady financial deals executed by the Jonathan administration.

Two days ago, we reported that former Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Emeka Anyaoku, had appealed to Mr. Buhari to halt the ongoing probe of former President Jonathan’s administration. Even though Mr. Anyaoku has denied that he urged Mr. Buhari to stop the investigation of his predecessor’s financial dealings, our sources insisted that the ex-Commonwealth chief executive brought up the matter.

Our sources disclosed that Mr. Buhari was unimpressed by Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s offer. “Mr. President considers the $250 million as ridiculous considering the amount of money Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke is suspected to have diverted into her pocket and those of others,” said one source.

According to our sources, Mr. Buhari is intent on ordering a full audit of deals and transactions done by the former Petroleum Minister and her cohorts in the various agencies that reported to her.

In addition, the new president is reportedly focused on looking further at the extensive embezzlement of security funds by appointees of the former president. Mr. Buhari has approved an investigation of how more than $3 billion in Nigeria’s defense budget was spent. Security agents who searched the homes of former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, reportedly carted away some revealing documents.

Earlier today, the Department of State Security (DSS) arrested and detained Gordon Obuah, a former Chief Security Officer to President Goodluck Jonathan. Mr. Obuah is reportedly being questioned over his alleged mastermind of a multi-million dollar oil bunkering deal during the former administration.

Let me get this right...
1. You left naija during your nysc or about to
2. And at your age you by then you should be in your mid 20s and you got a visa and couldn't differentiate a visitor visa from a student visa?
3. You had a visa on your hand b4 u left naija and it never crossed your mind to check to even check if the pic or name on your passport is correct?
4. Your dad allowed you to go to 'Malaysia' to study without asking where's the school admission?
5. So when you got to Malaysia and the immigration officer at the point of entry asked what you doing in their country, did you answer " to school" they didn't see you the wrong visa and denied you entry?
6. Without food or water in 2 days, you were able to out run a car in the desert with guns flying around.


You really need to put down that PS4 down . Don't waste your talent, you should be a fictional writer..

Incompetence at every level, so what happens to the super eagles? I'm guessing they are so good they don't require a foreign help. What a country.

It's obvious you are so clueless and ignorant; people fight not to have nuclear power plant in their backyard; you clown think it's an achievement? I wonder what some of you do on line when you can't do a simple Google search to save your own lives. Pathetic

And the point of this useless information is? Is she supposed to look like baba suwe or what? Still wonder why any every dum.b thing some of you think needs to be shared with the entire world.

I blame that Osho girl, or whatever her name is; the momentum could have changed if she'd scored; It could get worse in the 2nd half; it doesn't look like they have any game plan anyways; but the right full back girl deserves a first class seat back to Lagos; she's awesome.

Bowaley17:
i think she's overrated

Is she naija's best player?

What's wrong with naija keeper always going backward instead of rushing out; that was how she allowed Australia scored the second goal.

Bowaley17:
Oshoala

They will never change. They are in it for themselves.

This is just stup1d, of what importance is this write up? Has the killers being found? Of what relevance to your life or Nigerians is this? Do you have to post something though senseless? How do you think his famlily feels whey they see these horrible images? You opeining up old wounds that probably would never heal just to prove what? Some of you are just sooo f00lish and I don't blame you, I blame the dum.bass in charge of this site.

The best the girls could ever hope for is a draw against the US and that will never happen. They are in for a serious a.ss whopping. They blew their chances losing their last game and made their comeback against Sweden meaningless. It's that simple it's over.

I don't know why anyone is concerned about the lame duck National assembly. What' have they done in the last 16yrs that gave people the belief that anyting good will ever come out of there, other than their huge salaries? Buhari had better start thinking of plan B, C, D etc and run solo; having a thief as a senate president and a miracle is like expecting Judas to open a bank account with the deposit he' holding.

crudemoney:
he wants to claim humility abi.



Daura President!!

You buffoons need to come up with something more authentic. A shame your father didn't use a condom, see what Nigeria has to deal with now.

d.umbass what has this pic gotta do with Majek?

All I need to know is why is no one shouting about a bill that made 11yr old the consent age for sex in Nigeria. This is horrible beyond measure, this is a national tragedy and no one seems to care!!! This baboons and opportunistic bastar.ds voted to pass this as law and no one is saying nothing!!! I pray anyone that voted yes on such bill shall die a horrible death of cancer along with their entire household. Who is supposed to fight for these young girls!!!

[size=24pt]Every Nigeria Senator that voted yes on the bill for 11yr as the consent age for sex. Shall die, their families shall mourn and shall not be comforted, violently they shall be removed front he land of the living. They shall find their portion in the grave. Their path becomes slippery and their ways become dark. In sorrows shall they live their days. Their children and their generations after them shall never live in health, theY shall be hunted down like dogs in the street and shall be at the mercies of their enemies all the days of their lives. Their children shall be vagabonds, their wives shall be widowed, and their husbands shall be widowers. And no man shall hear their cry when they cry for help, it shall be far from them. SO SHALL IT BE.

Anyone that voted for a 6th grader to be having sex deserves to die. These are not law makers, these are animals that need their heads cut off[/size]

buygala:
She looks very close to menopause

All the more reason why I am happy for her pregnancy

Btw

Why she taking pictures beside an Italian police car? .... Shey na for italo police Station she dey do pre-natal?

Sorry just realized your mother didn't have an ultrasound to see how you would turn out; cos if she did, she would have aborted you so this is actually for you for being this du.mb ...

It doesn't even matter which session voted the ridiculous bill. Any senator that voted yes for an 11yr to have sex should be beheaded, stoned to death, die of cancer or end up as ISIS B.ITCH. These opportunistic ass.holes, morons and sick bastards are supposed to be your law makers? And you wonder whether nigeria is cursed? There is your answer. 11yr as age of consent. I hope to God everyone that everyone that had a hand in this sick bill shall die a horrible death. Why won't they make it 11yrs since they are all sick bastards. with wives at home but sleeping around with under age girls. For everyone that signed this bill , your path shall become slippery, your way shall become dark and destruction shall overtake you; violently you shall be removed from the land of the living.
