There was nothing like that. I did not do anything like that. There is no document to that effect. I did not give anything to Diezani as alleged. “There is nothing between me and the minister that was more than official. I did not conspire with anyone. I had a facility of about $100m Dollars in Florida. Even here, the generators I am using in my office, two of them, First Bank gave me as one of their best customers. So, how can anyone say that I defrauded the government For what!?".
