The All Progressives Congress (APC) has spoken out about the ongoing probe by the House of Representatives into the financial affairs of the Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

The party said through its interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, that:

“Scandal is the hallmark of the PDP-led Federal Government and the presidency, hence both may not feel the public anger at the report that a minister, whose most notable ‘achievement’ is her contribution
to Nigerians’ burden with her fixation on endless fuel price increases, has been frittering away the country’s resources on the altar of unprecedented profligacy.”

”…Nigerians are interested in knowing the truth. …Nigerians will like to know whether or not the minister spent the huge funds on jets, who authorized the spending of such funds, whether or not the expenditure was appropriated by the National Assembly and
which laws allow a government minister to junket around the world even on private trips.”

The minister is being probed by the House due to allegations that she had spent N10 billion on private jets.
