The embattled former petroleum minister during the regime of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, who ran to the UK for the fear of the EFCC Diezani Alison Maduekwe has now begged Nigerian government for leniency.
A statement released by EFCC says Mrs Diezani, who is reportedly suffering the second stage of her cancer, is begging president Bola Ahmed Tinubu to allow her to come back to Nigeria to confess to her misappropriation while in office.
Mrs Diezani was answering questions from the press in London after a medical visit. The former Petroleum minister, who was accused of stealing Nigeria’s money, amounting to billions of dollars, revealed that she is now ready to open up about the money she allegedly misappropriated while in office as the minister of Petroleum.

I have been accused of misappropriation when I was the petroleum minister, which is true! but I would like President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Nigerians to forgive me to come back home and offer my contribution because life is temporal"
