The immediate past Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, on Monday denied withdrawing $1bn from
the Excess Crude Account to finance the campaign of
former President Goodluck Jonathan.
In a statement by her Media Adviser, Mr Paul
Nwabuikwu, the former finance minister described the
allegation by Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State
that she spent $1bn out of the ECA to fund the re-
election bid of Jonathan as a “ludicrously false statement
that has unfortunately become a trademark of the
Governor in his public campaign of falsehood.”
The statement said the comment by the governor was
“just another example of the numerical diarrhea that
seems to have afflicted His Excellency in recent times in
his effort to damage the reputation of the former
minister.”
It reads in part, “He has, within the last few months,
asked Dr Okonjo-Iweala to explain all kinds of totally wild
and unsubstantiated figures, ranging from $30bn, $20bn,
$2.1bn, N720bn and now $1bn.
“To say the obvious, the accusations are totally lacking
in credibility. Governor Oshiomhole’s published
comments also contain other falsehoods.
“For instance, he quoted Dr Okonjo-Iweala as saying that
she and the Finance Commissioners of the 36 states
approved the spending of $2.1bn out of the Excess Crude
Account, adding that the Commissioners had disowned
the statement. This is also a complete distortion.
“Dr Okonjo-Iweala never said the Federation Accounts
Allocation Committee approved spending out of the ECA.
Rather as the Commissioners themselves stated, the
former Minister of State Finance informed them that
former President Jonathan approved the expenditure to
end the debilitating fuel queues across the country.”
The statement said the Finance Ministry under Okonjo-
Iweala regularly published details of revenue allocations
from the ECA in national media.
“Oshiomhole’s tortured ‘calculations’, based on his ‘four
figure tables’, are mere political numbers conjured to
achieve a political purpose. Nigerians can see through
the elaborate antics,” she said.

If this allegations are true then she is trying her best to avoid jail term. But let this be allowed to rest! |

APC and Oshi are shameless, but their robotic supporters will not see their propaganda. Someone should remind them that campaign period is over, and they are now in power!  |
