Embattled Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-
Madueke, today booked herself on a British Airways flight to
London with Nigeria’s President-Elect, Muhammad Buhari,
who sources claimed was on an scheduled trip.
Diezani had been billed to travel to the UK next week Tuesday
according to a source, however upon learning that Buhari was
traveling to London, she asked the airline to book her on the
same flight as Buhari so that she could have a chance to
discuss directly with the President-Elect. The British Airways
flight departed Abuja this morning at 9:00am Nigerian time.
Several aides and close associates of Buhari said they were
surprised to learn of the trip since they were with him till 7PM
last night shortly after he arrived from his hometown, Duara.
A family source told SaharaReporters that Buhari was
traveling to London for the weekend and is expected back in
Nigeria on Tuesday in time for the swearing in ceremonies.
