Ex-minister’s family ‘angry’ with Dele Momodu for making interview public

Family members of former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke are reportedly angry with Ovation Publisher, Dele Momodu for making the details of his interview with her public.

According to Sahara Reporters, this was disclosed by Diezani’s lawyer, Oscar Onwudiwe during an interview.

Onwudiwe reportedly added that Momodu “met (with Diezani) on a personal visit with the family.”

He also said that the publisher was not given permission to take the former minister’s pictures and that her family is “very upset” about the controversy the photos and the interview have caused.

Momodu used the interview and photos of a drastically-changed Diezani to launch and publicize his new online newspaper, The Boss.

In the photos, Ms Alison-Madueke, who is suffering from cancer, is frail and bald, a great departure from her former well adorned, beautiful self.

In the interview, the former minister denied allegations of money laundering levelled against her insisting that she never stole Nigeria’s money.
