Give A Report On Missing $20bn Oil Money, APC Challenges FG by bugs1: 2:30pm On Dec 28, 2014
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has challenged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led federal government to release the report of missing $20 billion oil money for public perusal.

The party in a statement issued in Ilorin yesterday by its national publicity secretary, Alh Lai Mohammed, made available to newsmen said the federal government is trying to suppress the audit report on the missing $20 billion oil money.

According to the party, the deadline for the release of the report, which was set by the government itself, has come and gone yet it is not released.

APC said the minister of finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had said at the Financial Times Africa Summit 2014 in London in October, that the report would be ready in November 2014.

It quoted the minister as saying at the forum on October 6, 2014 that, “We engaged PWC (Price Water-house Coopers) with the auditor general of the federation taking the lead. They asked for 16 weeks to complete the work; they have spent 11 or 12 weeks so far and they will be done in a couple of weeks.”

Why would they do that? That would open their yan.sh out & would injure the trans(de-formation agenda). The FG is employing the services of association of all witches to sit on d report!

It is the National Assembly that needs to release a comprehensive report on the said scandal and not the Executive.

Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, Sen. David Mark and NASS owe Nigerians that duty and we are still expecting their report as part of their oversight function.

The Executive is not expected to present an unbiased report in a scandal involving an agency under it hence the call by Lai Mohammed shows the depth of his mental capacity and bias.

There are three branches of government in a democracy and they are responsible for checking the excesses of each other.

Quoting the words of Senator Bukola Saraki on the $20 billion scandal "Let's allow the Senate to finish their job to avoid what happened to Nuhu Ribadu's committee report from repeating itself" end of quote.
