One of such has it that Haruna Momoh the MD of PPMC and Deziani Allison Madueke Minister for Petroleum has been demanding and pocketing N50 per litre of Kero and petrol produced by local Refineries since Jan 2011 till date.


The reason they gave to marketers is that it was marketers contribution to Jonathan's election, but it has continued even after the elections. suggestions are being proposed that the government should probe Nezor SA and Tridax SA two companies that are allegedly owned by the Petroleum Minister and run by her junior brother.
