According to a report monitored on First Weekly, Nigeria's Minister of
Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke is undoubtedly one of the most
powerful ministers in the country today. Apart from holding a very
sensitive position in the executive council, she also has the ears of
President Goodluck Jonathan.
The beautiful woman, we also learnt, had an 'underground' relationship with a Lagos-based Oil and Gas big boy, Dapo Abiodun.
According to those who know about their affair, Diezani and Dapo dated for
a while and while it lasted, both enjoyed it to the fullest both in Nigeria and abroad.The source said Dapo was the Apple of Alison's eye during the late
president Umar Musa Yar'Adua's tenure when she was the Minister of
Transportation and later Solid Mineral Resources.
We learnt that affair between Alison and Dapo was closely guided and only a few people in the corridors of power knew of it.
Dapo, who owns Heyden Oil, one of the major players in the oil and gas
sector, was alleged by insiders to have gotten more patronage through
Alison's influence.
Unfortunately for the love birds, somewhere along the line, we learnt Dapo fumbled and Alison had a bitter fight with him.
“When Alison Madueke became Minister of Petroleum, she made sure Dapo's
Heyden Oil got little or no allocation for the importation of petroleum
products, which accounted for serious drop in his fortune.
“The fight is still on, but I know Dapo is trying to find a way back into the woman's heart,” our source disclosed.
However, the source added that Alison, who is married to a former Chief
of Naval Staff, Rtd. Admiral Madueke, has stepped up and has no time for
Dapo again.
"You know Dapo is a lady’s man, but the minister has told some of her
confidants that he belongs to her past now,” our source said.
Why They Broke Up!
