Deziani: My Friend Sanusi Betrayed Me With Outrageous $20 Billion Claim


Nigeria's former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison Madueke, considers Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi as a friend.

“Sanusi and I had been friends. There was no way I would have done anything bad to him," she said in a recent interview.
