of other European countries as support for madam's concern for the less
priviledged children and her political ambition. she was nursing the
ambition of a senatorial seat for EdoCentral Zone (her birth place) come

the first lady wanted to buyover even the camp of her
"would be opponents".
Proceeds from this trip where my boss met her untimely death unknow to the
protocol staff was entrusted through me with a finance security company at
the instance of the first lady tagged fund for payment of a for an Italian
contractor who supplied furniture and machineries for her pet project.
This deposit was meant to be used by Dec 1st for our party's national
convention to buy over majority of the delegates, but now the first lady is
no more and this money will be trapped in the security company if no
foreigner comes to claim it before Dec 1st as was told them when we
