Money Laundering: I’m dying of cancer, Diezani begs Tinubu to return home

 The former petroleum minister from the era of President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, who sought refuge in the UK due to fears of the EFCC,
Diezani Alison Maduekwe, has now appealed to the Nigerian government for
leniency.

 

Mrs Diezani, reportedly in the second stage of her cancer,
has implored President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to permit her to return to Nigeria to
confess to her financial misconduct during her tenure.

 

Speaking to the press in London after a medical visit, the
ex-Petroleum minister, accused of embezzling billions of dollars from Nigeria,
expressed her readiness to disclose details of the funds she allegedly
misappropriated while in office.

 

“I am now a born-again Christian and currently grappling
with the second stage of cancer, for which my United Kingdom-based physician
has advised me to continue medication for the rest of my life,” she disclosed.
“Yes, no one is flawless, but sometimes, God Almighty permits such occurrences.

 

I’ve been accused of financial misconduct during my tenure
as the petroleum minister, and it’s true! However, I would like President Bola
Ahmed Tinubu and Nigerians to forgive me, allow me to return home, and
contribute because life is transient,” Diezani tearfully stated.

 

She went on to mention her association with Dauda Lawal
Dare, the current governor of Zamfara State, to whom she entrusted over 9
billion dollars for safekeeping while he served as the Executive Director of
First Bank Nigeria PLC.

 

Unfortunately, she revealed that Mr Dauda Lawal is now
unresponsive to her calls and has collaborated with the UK police to subject
her to surveillance, possibly to claim the entrusted funds upon her demise.

 

She said, ”My husband and my entire family members including
My Nigeria lawyer based in the United Kingdom knew my relationship with Dauda
Lawal Dare, the current Zamfara State governor whow I entrusted over 9 billion
dollars for safe keeping while he was the Executive Director of the First Bank
Nigeria PLC .

 

Unfortunately, it has now come to a point that Mr Dauda
Lawal is no longer picking my phone calls and even worked in Collaboration with
UK police to put me under Surveillance, may be to claim the Money I entrusted
to him when I die.”
