Buhari Jets Out To London; Madam Diezani Gets on the Plane

If you're guilty, you will always be running even when you are not being chased. This applies all the time:

Embattled Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, on Friday manage to book herself on a British Airways flight to London with Nigeria’s President-Elect, Muhammad Buhari on board. Sources say she was aware that Buhari was on an scheduled trip.

Diezani had been billed to travel to the UK next week Tuesday according to a source, however upon learning that Buhari was traveling to London, she asked the airline to book her on the same flight as Buhari so that she could have a chance to discuss directly with the incoming President.

The British Airways flight departed Abuja this morning at 9:00am Nigerian time.

Several aides and close associates of Buhari said they were surprised to learn of the trip since they were with him till 7pm last night shortly after he arrived from his hometown, Duara, Katsina State.

A family source told Sahara Reporters that Buhari was traveling to London for the weekend and is expected back in Nigeria on Tuesday in time for the swearing in ceremonies.

But why did Madam Diezani sneak into the flight with Buhari? Real drama coming after May 29.
