Hmmmmmmmmmmm

ok good... the woman knows her job.... there is no way she can be blamed if the fund meant for security ended up being misused... Security is not her job but giving money to them is.... the earlier they understand this, the better...

my woman don talk...waiting for oshobaba

Some Nigerians are just funny. A minister or president does not have the power to spend any funds not budgeted for. That money should have been paid into the federation account and a supplementary budget sent to the NA for approval.

GEJ and NOI should be ashamed of themselves especially the so called Harvard graduate who oversaw the looting of the country's wealth.

She should save her defence for EFCC because they will soon be knocking on her door.

And who said it wasn't budgeted for? Read her comment again. The money was already approved for but the problem is where to get the money ASAP.

The NSA already had money budgeted for the military purchases but they needed money urgently thus was borrowed some of Abacha's Loot after which the money will be returned when their statutory allocation arrives.

We the wise ones know that all these allegations are devised to distract us from the obvious lack of focus and direction of our present govt.

APC focus on the task ahead, you cannot trap an honest person, this is a futile attempt.

Simple question.... Madam Economists...do you have constitutional power to divert, spend or transfer such fund without legislative approval If No....then you will be prosecuted!

let's wait and see if EFCC will knock

Aboki, go and ask ur rep. in national assembly, d president has a constitutional power to spend monies on security from certain coffers without recourse to the national assembly. But is expected to notify the assembly of such expense.

Abeg Junketeer in chief should show us where the LNG tax money is and all the monies returned to his government since he came in.

No fuel, NNPC is clueless on how to resolve it, no security no light no hope.

INEC has been destroyed, no probity all we see is a do or die atitude from APC politicians to take over the political structure in Nigeria.

Killers of social media, APC is also a promoter of unrest across the country. Shameless bunch.

Yes...a committee approval to get funding for security...No..Legislative approval to divert, spend or transfer Abacha's loot for any purpose!

Thought Buhari said Abacha never stole?



NOI keep schooling the dullards especially the ugly midget of Edo state.

arresa:



She deceptively and conveniently sidestepped that criminal element of her illegal action...

buhari will waste his 4years on vendetta, we will take stock of his accomplishments and know the result of this aboki-amala conspiracy

But why was the money given to the NSA? Is it the Defence ministry? Does it have the powers of appropriation? That's besides the fact that its an extra budgetary spending that needed to be ratified by the national assembly!

adioolayi:

The Legislature has approved the NSA budget for the year. The statutory funds hasn't arrived thus the NSA was LOANED the money from Abacha's Loot after which the loan will be repaid once the statutory allocation arrives.

Almost everybody is labelling Okonjo as 'intelligent'... I wonder what their definition of intelligence is... Maybe it means 'coming out "clean" after doing dirty tricks with the nation's money'

What is repugnant and incompetent about the bolded? You need to learn the meaning of words before you use them.

You think big words will supersede superior reasoning accompanied by facts?!

And you failed to see or read "approved" in the statement.... who approved it and who appropriated it? How president and she and the NSA can't do that alone. So she's tied there.

NB: you can prove me wrong tho

All these people cheering NOI's response, do they know she has just said the exact same thing her accusers accused her of ?

She jointly agreed to make this money available to the NSA without going to the National Assembly as they should have done, in breach of our laid down laws and processes.

She's even digging deeper into the hole. And taking GEJ down with her

Legislative arm Approved the loot to be LOANED I don't think so.
She can't just make good decisions making constitutional flaws. is like doing a logically correct it in a wrong way

I love this woman. For once I could see a star in a league of a country dominated by mediocres. How can people like Oshiomole and the President who barely posses a senior secondary school certificate think they can stand toe to toe with this brilliant woman?

Hope say two of you don eat sha before u go dey blow english

Engineer123:
Let's us forget Abaca loot. we have more pressing issues at hand.

is it because Abacha is dead that we are talking about his loot? What about IBB. Abdusalam.Obj loots? We prefer to leap to GEJ look. Selective justice, I would say

An important issue has not been addressed by that response: Was the Funds budgeted for or was it extra-budgetary expenditure? If there was genuine need to use the funds, why not approach the National Assembly to inform them that there has been an inflow of funds and that they should approve for it to be used to combat terrorism.

I am seriously beginning to think NOI was indeed complicit in most of the corrupt transaction that happened during the last administration.

I can't get it! what is happening everyday one wakes up with Money missing and misapplied, can't the gov't talk about it's policy and areas they intend to work on as the economy is going down everyday? What has become of us lately everything is on standstill without efforts to do the needful. This is really pathetic!

Promhize:


"Following the discussions and based on the urgency of
the NSA’s memo, Dr Okonjo-Iweala requested the
President to approve the transfer of the requested amount
to the NSA’s Office for the specified purposes."

Now I know you have comprehension issues, "request the president to approve" not "request for permission to approve".

Seems you just learnt about the word "repugnant"

I tire o, my brother. "Repugnant" is definitely new is his vocabulary. Lmao!
