Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has lambasted former Attorney General of the Federation and Justice Minister, Bello Adoke: “I don’t support that kind of conduct. Adoke and others should not drag me into the 1.1billion dollars Malabu oil matter. If they have been asked to answer questions over decisions they took while in office, they should do that honourably.”

“They should not bring Obasanjo into an Etete deal. I was not part of any such deal. If I hold that view, I could not have approved a deal with Etete. What Etete did was the height of corruption. He appropriated the asset to himself illegally, illegitimately and immorally.”

“It is inappropriate for any government functionary to appropriate to himself or herself what he or she is in charge of.”

However, Adoke has written a letter to Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami (SAN) and revealing how Terms of Settlement on the controversial oil block were brokered and executed by Obasanjo’s administration before its implementation by Jonathan’s administration.

He equally asked Malami to investigate the matter thoroughly and if found wanting, should not hesitate to prosecute him.

Be that as it may, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) filed charges against Adoke and some former officials over the Malabu oil deal.
