As the speculation over when Petroleum minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke will be sacked or redeployed continues, there are indications that she may get a soft landing after all.<\/p>\n

Reuters had hinted that President Goodluck Jonathan may have thrown his weight behind her for the OPEC’s plum job, Secretary General.<\/p>\n

The news of Alison-Madueke\u2019s nomination was disclosed by Iraq\u2019s oil minister, Abdul Kareem Luaibi, on Tuesday, according to aReuters<\/em>\u00a0report.<\/p>\n

Her nomination is coming at a time that the minister is facing intense pressure back home to extricate herself from a series of scandals linked to her.<\/p>\n

If the Nigerian candidacy is successful, Alison-Madueke will be the oil exporter group\u2019s first female in the post. OPEC is to meet today (Wednesday).<\/p>\n

The minister is currently being investigated by the House of Representatives for allegedly spending N10bn to charter a private jet for two years.<\/p>\n

She has, however, made repeated attempts to foil the probe by the House.<\/p>\n

Last month, she got an order of interim injunction from a court restraining the House, its members, committee or agents from summoning or directing her to appear before the probe panel.<\/p>\n

The House had commenced the investigation following a motion on March 20, 2014, that was presented by Samuel Adejare.<\/p>\n

The motion had accused Alison-Madueke of committing about \u20ac500,000 (N130m) monthly to maintain the private jet for her personal needs and those of her immediate family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
