Missing N197Billion: Provide evidence or shut up, Fani-Kayode tells Emir Sanusi

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has asked the Emir of
Kano and former Governor of Central Bank, Muhammadu Sanusi II, to
provide evidence to prove his allegation that $1 billion (N197bn)
was missing every month under former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The former apex bank governor, alleged during a programme entitled
‘How a cancer of corruption steals Nigerian oil, weapons and lives’
aired on The PBS NewsHour, an American daily evening television show,
that about $1bn (N197bn) went missing every month under former
President Goodluck Jonathan.

The monarch said many dirty and shocking deals took place under the
immediate past Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke, who is
currently being investigated in the United Kingdom.

The emir claimed that during Alison-Madueke’s tenure as petroleum
minister, people paid as low as $50m for access to crude oil blocs
valued at over $2bn.

But Fani-Kayode, former Director, Media and Publicity, Jonathan
Campaign Organisation, said: “When I read this I was left with the
conclusion that this man has gone mad.

“He (Sanusi) should provide the evidence to prove that this allegation
that $1 billion dollars was stolen every day by Jonathan or he should
just shut up and hold his peace.”
