Diezani Diezani

A Twitter user, @DrOlufunmilayo has said that former Nigeria Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison Madueke deserves an award.

This is coming after Nigerians discovered her new portfolio as a Trade and Investment Commissioner for the Commonwealth of Dominica.

Investigations show that Diezani was issued a diplomatic passport, DP0000445 by the Dominican Government on May 21, 2015, shortly before the handover to President Muhammadu Buhari by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.

Her citizenship was confirmed by a May 29, 2015 approval letter by the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Roosevelt Kerry, as earlier reported by MyNigeria.com.

@DrOlufunmilayo who stood in awe of the ex-Minister said she deserved a statue.

He said Dieziani played Nigeria and made them look like fools.

"In the history of thieves, this woman deserves a statue," the medical doctor tweeted.

"The only thing this proves is she’s a lot more terrible and smarter than people give her the credit for.

"Immediately post-2015, the first scam was “sickness” Face with tears of joy and then she went quiet. Not knowing she already had another country’s passport arranged.

"Real-life money heist," he added.



Diezani is wanted by the EFCC in connection with an alleged N23.29billion poll bribery scam.

The EFCC also wants the ex-Minister to account for N47.2 billion; $487.5million; N23,446,300,000 and $5milion (about N1.5billion) in various Nigerian banks.

Top among her assets, either placed on permanent or temporary forfeiture, is the $37.5million Banana Island property.
