Former Chief of Army Staff, Theophilus Danjuma, has alleged that ex-Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke excelled in corruption.
Danjuma said Alison-Madueke was the only Nigerian woman he knew that excelled in corruption.
He spoke while inaugurating the Goodwill Medical Centre (GMC) at Umuchigbo, Iji Nike in Enugu East Local Government Area, on Tuesday.
According to the former Army Chief, Diezani set a record that was yet to be beaten by anybody.
He said, “I used to say that if you want anything properly done and delivered on time without any excuses, give the job to a woman, until we had a female minister of petroleum.
“That woman excelled in corruption. She set a record that is yet to be beaten by anybody.
So, I was in the process of reviewing my statement when I met one lady, Prof. Uche Amazigo. Uche and I have come a very long way.
“My first encounter with Uche was around mid-October 2010 when she was accompanied by Mrs. Franca Ilamiji, another Igbo woman.”
