Taking to Instagram, Ben celebrated the ex-minister while stating the photo was taking at her son’s graduation in England.

“Sassy, smart, and always sophisticated. Celebrating with the amazing Diezani Alison-Madueke at her son’s graduation at Reading University. Her son’s achievement is a testament to the power of good parenting. Excellence indeed runs in the family,” Ben wrote.

The photo, however, sparked a wave of reactions from Nigerians who revisited the allegations of fraud against Diezani.
