Governors Forum Demands Explanation For Missing $20billion From Okonjo-Iweala by Nobody: 8:33pm On May 19, 2015
Governors attending Nigeria’s Governors’
Forum took aim at Minister of Finance
and Coordinating Minister of the
Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, in a statement
released from the proceedings today. The Forum,
presided over by its Chairman Governor Rotimi
Amaechi of Rivers State, was held at the
Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.

The statement expressed outrage, questioned her
integrity, and demanded that she give an
explanation regarding the missing $20 billion
from the state coffers.
The Governors’ Forum statement is the latest
development centered on the controversial
PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) audit of the
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC),
which was spurred by Lamido Sanusi exposing
to the public the missing money. Sanusi, now
the Emir of Kano, was sacked by President

Jonathan for blowing the whistle on the mission
$20 billion.

Governor Amaechi demanded action from
Okonjo-Iweala on the missing money in a
statement that “In the light of the facts that
funds in the Excess Crude Account were last
disbursed in May 2013, there is need for the
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of
the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to provide
explanations for accruals to this account from
June 2013 to April 2015 which is estimated at
over $20billion."

Governor Amaechi also announced that a
Governors’ Forum Academy called the “NGF
Leadership Academy” would be set up, and will
be responsible for leadership development
targeting governors and public officials.
Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State was
also elected Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’
Forum, which was also announced by outgoing
Chairman Amaechi.

Governor Yari was elected by consensus to serve
as Chairman for one year. He has been Deputy
Chairman of the Forum but no one has been
appointed to replace that role, according to
reports.
The future of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum was
uncertain in 2013 when it split into two
competing groups. During the election, Governor
Amaechi dislodged his opponent Jonah Jang, the
Governor of Plateau State.

In Jonathan's voice,
The NGF should direct the question to the US cos the money belongs to the US.

sin n injustice is when you know the truth but failed to do it. from the Ameachi statement, it is glaring that their 're abnormalities in the management of the country economy which some group loyal to the presidency try to supress. y was Akpabio so silent in the meeting to antagonize Ameachi as he had done during the campaign period that their is no money loss in the government coffers? coz I could remember vividly he said during the presidential campaigns that the money being requested for was shared by all governors. N in reversed the presidency told Nigerians according to the pwc reports that NNPC needed to remit $1.48b to the federation accts. so pathetic indeed!
am waiting for the presidency reply to this latest statement from the governor's forum now that their loyalist had subjected to the course.
