Send Diezani on compulsory leave, ACN tells Jonathan

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to remove the Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke from office to ensure transparent investigation of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), which will convince Nigerians that he is serious about the fight against corruption in the sector.

Leaders of the party gave the admonition at a press conference at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja. National Secretary of the party, Senator Lawan Shuaib, who addressed journalists noted that the investigation of the ministry by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) could be jeopardised if Mrs. Diezani retained her seat.
