I warned Jonathan not to make Diezani petroleum minister – Obasanjo
Obasanjo pointed out that there were certain things Jonathan
did that fell below his expectations as a former president.
“There were certain decisions taken by Jonathan very early in
his administration that pointed to the fact that the office was bigger than him
and one of them was the appointment of a petroleum minister,” he said.
According to Obasanjo, he cautioned Jonathan not to appoint
Diezani Alison-Madueke to such a sensitive sector but the president ignored his
counsel.
“Jonathan gave me the impression that he was not going to
give her the portfolio but at the end he did and we can see the consequence.
He, of course, knew what he was doing,” Obasanjo stated.
