A government minister who served under Jonathan’s Administration stole $6bn (£3.8bn) of public money, a state governor has alleged.
Adams Oshiomhole said US officials informed President Muhammadu Buhari of the alleged theft during his visit to Washington last month.
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the governor of Edo state who accompanied Mr Buhari to Washington, did not name the minister who allegedly stole the money.
During his visit to the US, Mr Buhari said he had asked the US to help recover $150bn “stolen in the past decade and held in foreign bank accounts”
US officials described the theft during the PDP’s rule as “earth-quaking”, Mr Oshiomhole, the Edo State governor, told journalists in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
The PDP said Mr Buhari’s visit to Washington was a failure, in particular for failing to obtain “any sort of tangible gain for the fight against terrorism”.
