Adams Oshiomhole - A Minister Under Goodluck Jonathan Stole $6bn

Adams Oshiomhole claimed that details of the fraud were provided by US officials during President Buhari's recent trip to the States.

The Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole has revealed that a former minister under the Goodluck Jonathan administration embezzled well over $6 billion while in office.

Adams Oshiomhole stated that the details of the fraud were provided by US officials during President Buhari’s recent trip to the States.

The governor made the comments on Monday, July 26, 2015, after a meeting with President Buhari at the State House in Abuja.

Oshiomhole said:

“We have moved away from a president that doesn’t seem to know his powers to one that understands that he is a president of the country in the continent.”

“PDP destroyed the country- I mean from the lips of American officials; senior officials of the state department. They said one minister under PDP cornered as much as $6billion, and the man said even by Washington standard that is earth-quaking.”

“We are a very patient people. If we were not a patient people, anybody wearing the tag of PDP ought to feel very unsafe because you are all victims- all of us here.”

Oshiomhole has repeatedly accused former Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala of mismanaging Nigeria’s economy and spending public funds on Jonathan’s re-election bid.
