Diezani Alison-Madueke, immediate past minister of petroleum resources, has revealed that her “good friend”, Muhammad Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano, wanted to be president of African Development Bank (AfDB). She suggested that the former CBN governor could have been angry with her, based on how some people close to Goodluck Jonathan, the former president, frustrated his AfDB ambition.
Akinwunmi Adesina, former minister for agriculture and rural development, was eventually elected the eight president of the bank in May.
Alison-Madueke, who is currently battling with cancer, also maintained that Sanusi’s allegations about missing $20bn were false. In an interview with Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine and TheBoss newspaper, Diezani said she never stole any money, challenging her accusers to publish facts.
