Re: Exposed – Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Director Caught IN ₦10 Million Bribery Scandal To Secure Appointment – A Rejoinder.
The attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been drawn to a report by Sahara
Reporters, dated 20th April, 2021, alleging that the Honourable Minister of State for Foreign Affairs,
H.E. Ambassador Zubairu Dada was involved in a ₦10million bribery scandal and job racketeering
alongside one Mr. Suleiman Momoh, a staff of the Directorate of Technical Cooperation in Africa
(DTCA), which is a Parastatal under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and supervised by the Office of
the Honourable Minister of State.The Ministry wishes to inform the general public that the report is untrue, baseless and
should be disregarded as the Honourable Minister of State does not know and has never met the
officer in question – Mr. Suleiman Momoh, neither has he ever been involved in any transaction with
him either personally or through any agent, at any point in time. In a statement signed by
Ferdinand Nwonye, Spokesperson
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Abuja.
The Ministry wishes to further
clarify that the Honourable Minister of State does not have any ‘boy’ or ‘boys’ who represent or run
errands on his behalf at DTCA or elsewhere, as alleged in the report.
The Ministry therefore uses this opportunity to urge the general public to kindly disregard
the report, as it was a mischievous ploy to malign the Honourable Minister and defame his hardearned reputation.
