Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the immediate
past Finance Minister has handed President
Muhammadu Buhari a list of corrupt deals
approved by Goodluck Jonathan,
SaharaReporters has reported.
The online news medium claimed that
Okonjo-Iweala has been quietly cooperating
with Buhari’s administration. “In an attempt
to curry favor with the new government,
Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala recently directed
officials of her polling agency, NOI Polls, to
give President Buhari a 70 per cent
approval rating among Nigerians,”
SaharaReporters said.

“The polling results were simply cooked
up,” a professional pollster told US-based
news platform, noting that, “prior to the
2015 general elections, the former
minister’s fake polling organization kept
repeating that Mr. Jonathan approval rating
was up even as his political fortune
plummeted.”
SaharaReporters also learned that former
Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani
Alison-Madueke, is also actively
cooperating with the Buhari administration.
“Mrs. Alison-Madueke had struck a deal
with the new government to submit a
document to the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) exposing her
collaborators at the NNPC.
“The former Petroleum minister, who was
one of the closest cabinet members to Mr.
Jonathan—and the mastermind of
numerous money laundering deals on behalf
of the former president—currently shuttles
between the United Kingdom and
Switzerland. A source close to Mrs. Alison-
Madueke said the former minister was
receiving treatment in the UK related to
breast cancer,” SaharaReporters claimed.
It would be recalled that SaharaReporters
reported that several sources in Abuja,
including aides of Buhari, said that former
President, Goodluck Jonathan sent Emeka
Anyaoku, former Commonwealth Secretary
General as an emissary to Buhari.
One of our sources said Jonathan moved
quickly to send powerful intercessors to the
Presidency after the Buhari administration
began to question massive last-minute
withdrawals and disappearance of more
than $20 billion in government funds
orchestrated by former President Jonathan
as well as his closest ministers and aides.
One source close to Anyaoku’s desperate
mission to President Buhari revealed that
he urged the new president to remember
that Jonathan voluntarily decided not to
contest the results of the March 28, 2015
presidential election, won by Mr. Buhari, on
the understanding that he and his
administration would not be subjected to a
probe.
