Cancer-stricken former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Allison Madueke has replied her critics when told that no one seems to believe that she didn\u2019t steal money while in office.<\/p>\n
In an interview with The Boss Newspaper\u2019s Dele Momodu, ailing former Minister of Petroleum Resources made the revelation when told that no one seems to believe that she didn\u2019t steal money while in office.<\/p>\n
\nShe said:
\n\u201cI can\u2019t blame the doubters. They have seen more of the worst of Nigeria that it becomes difficult to trust anyone. But let me disclose something to you today because there is a difference between belief and reality
\nI did an unusual thing in our last days in government. I\u2019m not sure I should tell you before people say I\u2019m boasting. Ok, I actually left $5.6bn in the NLNG alone. I doubt if such ever happened but no one is talking about it.
\nI\u2019m not seeking to be praised but to be acknowledged that I made some little contributions. That money could have been wasted on frivolities but I was determined to keep something for the incoming government once we lost the election.\u201d<\/p>\n
On what she would do differently if God should give her another chance, she said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe priority now is how to take care of my poor health. I\u2019m battling with a very serious type of cancer. I have tried everything to contain the malevolent spread.
\nI have had two surgeries. The first was to take out the lumps from my breast and the second was to cut deeper into the tissues. I\u2019ve gone through Chemotherapy and now I\u2019m starting Radiotherapy. I\u2019m praying this one goes well because I don\u2019t know if there is any thing the doctors can do beyond this.
\nThe steroids were devastating and at a point I slipped into coma on July 28. My sugar level went wild first to 25 and then to 80. The doctors called it a near-miss and I now know what they mean when people say, \u2018health is wealth\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
