How Buhari snubbed petroleum minister, Allison Madueke on British Airways

Muhammadu Buhari ,
refused a conversation with the Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke ,
who allegedly booked the same flight to London on
Friday, May 22, with the intention of a possible
dialogue.
According to Sahara Reporters, Buhari only
exchanged greetings with the Minister while they
were boarding the British Airways aircraft, and
further attempts by Alison-Madueke to strike a
dialogue after they had settled down in their First
Class compartment seats, was ignored by the
retired Major-General.
The Minister was said to have booked herself into
the seat directly behind Buhari’s.
It was reported that she got up a few times to
make a conversation with Buhari, but he only
nodded without permitting any dialogue.
Punch reported that the Minister ran to catch up
with the President-elect at the Nnamdi Azikwe
Airport, Abuja before their flight.
Alison-Madueke’s UK trip was said to be originally
scheduled for next Tuesday, May 26, after
honouring the Senate summon over the lingering
fuel crisis on Monday, May 25.
Sources said she changed her schedule, booking
herself on the same flight with Buhari after learning
of his trip.
It is believed that the Minister is scheming to be in
the good books of the President-elect as her
ministry is described as the most corrupt in
Jonathan administration, and may be first to be
probed by Buhari government.
