Is our Petroleum minister seeking Asylum?

The petroleum minister Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke last night through the Group Public Affairs General Manager of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Mr. Ohi Alegbe, denied the rumor of her seeking relocation from Nigeria. 

Alegbe stated that his boss is just out of the country for a short vacation and would soon return to her job contrary to an online publication that the minister had been denied asylum by six countries, where she had so far applied, but did not state the said countries.

 Business Council for Africa (BCA) has been quoted to say that no fewer than six countries had already refused an asylum request by Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke.

The BCA gave the impression that the minister would be investigated under the new administration of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), even though he had said that he would not probe his predecessors.

BCA recalled President-elect Muhammadu Buhari clearly stating that the rest of the world looks at Nigerians as corrupt, and that his administration will pursue all public offices and individuals who are believed to be guilty of corruption.

It would be recalled that her administration has experienced scandals in relation to mismanagement of resources and missing funds.

I guess we would have to wait till our president elect is sworn in to unravel these miseries.
