Investigation by SaharaReporters reveal that Midwestern Oil and Gas, an oil company cited by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the distribution of slush funds provided by former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, was registered by the Delta State government in 1999 during the tenure of Governor James Ibori, currently serving a 13-year-old jail term in the United Kingdom. Our investigative team found out that the firm was used to earmark more than $30 million that former Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan plowed into electoral campaigns in Delta State. Our sources in the state revealed that Mr. Uduaghan, a cousin to imprisoned former Governor James Ibori, acted in concert with the former governor who played a key role in state elections despite his incarceration.
