The Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has said that he is ready to receive litigation letters from the former Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, if she plans to institute any legal action against him for linking her to the alleged $2.1bn arms probe.

Oshiomhole, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Kassim Afegbua, on Thursday, said that while he awaits the letter from her lawyers, the former minister should explain to Nigerians how so much money was allegedly diverted unnoticed under her watch, rather than sweeping the issue under the carpet.

He said, “Is it not ridiculous that the former Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy pretend to be ignorant of the sleaze and primitive looting of the nation’s treasury under her watch? Does it not prick the conscience of Okonjo-Iweala that so much financial improprieties were perpetrated right before her nose and yet wants to be celebrated as a super minister? Does she want to absolve herself of the abysmal performance of the economy under her watch during the Jonathan years?”

Okonjo-Iweala had, through her Media Adviser, Paul Nwabuikwu, urged the Federal Government to caution the governor to stop linking her to the billion dollar arms investigation.

It is unfortunate that it has taken members of the ruling elites to take up the responsibility of asking the questions.

What exactly are the so called professors and civil society doing?
A country earned $500 billion in 5 years but you will be pressed to find any value added project worth $1 billion
