Alison-Madueke Reacts To Allegation Of Being Ex-President Jonathan's Lover

Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, the immediate past minister of petroleum resources has said she is not a lover to former President Goodluck Jonathan. Speaking in an interview with The Boss magazine in London, where she is battling with cancer, embattled Diezani described the allegation as totally false. Mrs. Alison-Madueke, who was looking frail in the photographs accompanying the interview, also denied dating any of the young businessmen in the oil and gas sector.

When asked about the relationship between her and Chris Aire, Kola Aluko, Jide Omokore, Tonye Cole, Dapo Abiodun, Wale Tinubu, Igho Sanomi and others, she replied: “I vehemently deny any intimacy or liaison with any of these gentlemen.” She explained that some of the men were unknown to her until she was made minister. Diezani added that she is happily married and would not do anything to jeopardize her marriage or smear herself in the eyes of her husband, children and family.
