Okonjo-Iweala Is Not Resigning by Tolexander: 8:01pm On Sep 18, 2013
The Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said Wednesday, that she was not contemplating resignation and would concentrate on her job of managing the nation’s economy for the common good of Nigerians.

The 7 governors who are opposed to the Alh. Bamanga Tukur-led People’s Democratic party, PDP, had Tuesday night called for the resignation of the minister, considered as one of the most valuable members of President Gooluck Jonathan’s cabinet.

Dr. Okonjo-Iweala made her stand on the issue known at a briefing, in Abuja, where she gave a load down on the performance of the economy.

The minister who was asked by a journalist whether or not she would resign as demanded by the governors had this to say, “that doesn’t arise. I am not here for those kind of issues. I am Minister of Finance for the country. I am working with President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and I will just do my job.

“This ( briefing) is not to address that kind of issue. All of you are Finance correspondents and I call you from time to time I have this kind of press conference and I share with you what is happening in the economy. That is what I am doing. So am I not answering to that? …Do I look any close to resignation? I ‘de kampe’”.

“So don’t worry about. We should stop talking about political issues here. The economy should be managed for the good of Nigerians. That is why we are here. Let’s face facts of the economy. I have given you facts about the economy. I have given you roads built; agric jobs created increase in production, you can go and check for yourself so that we can focus on facts”.

Governors are chasing shadows. The right person to resign is Godswill Akpabio,the fraudulent governor of Akwa Ibom.

If Gov Amaechi can invest half of the resources he spends on fighting GEJ into Rivers State University I believe the Uni might end up being amongst the best 100 in the world.

Don't let us deceive ourselves; She's working for GEJ. If GEJ decides to sack her today, can we save her? Why couldn't we save Rukayat if she was actually working for Nigerians? Same thing goes for Governors and their Commissioners.

The G7 are bunch of jokers. That was how they demanded that Turkur be removed and up till now, the man still dey control. They are only venting their anger because things are not going their way. When their gragra come down, they will return to the party and work with Turkur and even Okonjo. They will surely come back; that's why they are still bearing PDP with "n" in front.

Okonjo Iwela is not only a co-ordinating minister or just a minister, but a flamboyant, elegant, charismatic and a prominent mother in nigeria,west Africa,Africa and World in general.she is a famous celebrity and world economic reformer.So all these local and petty propopaganda political juganuts should go and kiss the toilet sit. Confused and biased Governors. Abeg Madam Ngozi carry go jare. We ibos and southerners are solidly behind you.
