Revealed! How Diezani Madueke Bankrolled AIT’s Defamatory Documentary On Tinubu With 10 Billion…Plans Another Film On Osinbajo

Fresh facts have unmasked those behind the recent, documentaries on the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) aired on African Independent Television AIT. According to report, AIT owners received N10 billion to produce and air negative documentaries on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It further revealed that the Minister for Petroleum Affairs and President of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Diezani Allison-Madueke bankrolled the documentary while the scripts and voice overs are being prepared and cut with the help of the Nigeria Television Authority and some Nollywood production companies and working for President

Jonathan's re-election. As a result of the massive deal, AIT, which was said to be in poor financial shape. And it its principal owner, Raymond Dokpesi, had decided to sell it to the banks, which the station owed several billions of Naira, is now back in good standing. It has also become considerably bolder because of the backing of Mrs. Allison-Madueke and other powerful government officials behind the deal. Our investigation reveals that AIT receives N5 million each time an episode of any of the documentaries is aired on their channels in different Nigerian markets. Apart from the cost of producing and airing the documentaries, we found that a team of high-priced lawyers has also been mobilized with about N3 billion to handle any legal threats that may arise from the documentaries. Just last week, the APC chieftain Bola Tinubu sued AIT over the documentary on him. we learned that the next in the series of the film, will focus on the Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. A source, who didn't want to reveal the content, said the objective of that show will be to “destroy” Prof. Osinbajo's position as a strong moral leader in the Christian community."The idea is to make the Christians who have left Jonathan because of Osinbajo's entry into the Presidential race to have a rethink," the source stated. “The PDP is still failing the basic mathematics,” a political analyst told us. “They can squander all of the money in the Central Bank trying to damage the reputation of everyone in the opposition, but how does that provide a cover for the ineptitude and corruption of the Goodluck Jonathan government? Does that explain why Nigeria is far worse than they found it? That is the question Nigerians will be answering when they go to the polls in three weeks.”
