A former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has claimed that the embattled erstwhile Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, rented out her yacht to international celebrities such as Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
Alison-Madueke served as Nigeria’s petroleum minister between 2010 and 2015 under former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
She is currently facing multiple corruption charges both home and abroad.
Speaking on the politician’s travails, Sowore alleged that Madueke purchased the yacht from the money siphoned from the country’s coffers.
He disclosed this in the teaser of Chude Jideonwo’s upcoming documentary ‘Is It Your Money?: The Story of Diezani Alison-Madueke.’
He said, “All the revelations that came out of the Diezani story by now, should have become a movie. Buying a yacht with the money of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and riding it around and renting it out to Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé. I think that is more brazen.”
