4 Billion Hotel Deal Traced to Ex-Petroleum Minister Diezieni


Endless scandals! this seems to be the hallmark of ex-petroleum minister who is fast becoming no stranger to shady deals. This time, detectives of the  EFCC have traced a 4 billion naira Hotel to her and a former military administrator accomplice. Relevant papers to the deal have also  been secured by the anti-graft agency and any moment from now the property  may be placed under interim forfeiture as soon as preliminary investigation is concluded. Meanwhile, associates of the former minister were yet to refund the sum of $1.85 billion to government coffers. She was also reportedly indicted in N23.29 billion bribery to some INEC officials-not to mention billions other transactions she allegedly soiled her hands with. CNN had at a  time reported the return of $90 billion by her. All these hefty sums traced to one government official? The Expose News has been trying to reach her but to no avail.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets?

IRAN’S OBDURACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Iran’s revolutionary leaders appears bent on one course of action: Military confrontations! Where they are not combative enough, they are sponsoring rebellious groups, terrorists, especially the Middle East; it is doubtful if their television and radio stations broadcast any other message other than pouring invectives on Donald Trump or issuing annihilation threats to Israel.   The gulf channel has lately been added to their growing point of recalcitrance.     The government of Iran ought to do more on provision of social amenities, infrastructure, but the Ali Khameni group would only focus on assembling nuclear arsenals and only that.   The world is governed by laws but the Iranians resent this and seem to be more at home with crude tactics, guerilla warfare and testing missiles.   This is not the way to give the upcoming generation of Iranians a future to look up to.   They are in Syria, Lebanon and in Palestine struggling to equip Hama’s-- strangely ...
