Diezani Alison-Madueke: Senator Yusuf says US suspicious of FG

• Senator Abubakar Yusuf has questioned why the huge money allegedly recovered from Diezani Alison-Madueke and her associates should go through the World Bank
• Senator Yusuf argued that since the money has become Nigeria’s fund, the African country should be able to decide how to spend it or what to to use it for
• The former federal legislator stated that the $52.88 million said to have been retreived from Diezani Alison-Madueke should have gone directly to the federation account

Today, we are crying of insecurity in this country much more than having electricity in our rural areas. Why would the money go through the bank and then go through rural electricity? There is something suspicious.”The US is suspicious of the federal government of Nigeria; how we use our resources. In the first place, it is ours, it has been recovered, so why should it go through the World Bank?”
