Congo, the governors went to court. Do you think Gej is like the Dullard who neglects and defiles court judgements?

ochilikoko:
there may be truth in the assertion. She is the only person to narrate her ordeals as a minister of petroleum. Remember when Buhari was in opposition,he never believed that un-easy lies the head that bears the crown but see how his Government has turned out to be. Frustrations every where

Goldencollins:
ThankGod they didn't kidnap u Madam,but Buhari must suffer for making Nigerians go through this kind of pain and hardship.

BiafranNigerian:
I still remember vividly how Aregbesola, Adams Oshomole and Amaechi insulted GEJ everyday, forcing him to share the funds in the Excess Crude Account. Now this government must suffer the action of these 3 APC governors.

Karma is real.

Stop your propaganda.
The governors took the Federal government to court insisting our savings be shared, same can happen in this administration.

fulanimafia:
Blame game from Madam best economy on paper.

If not for the timid, ineffectual, incompetent and clueless president, how can ordinary governors hold a President and commander in chief to ransom, was he such a dullard to not know the effect of wasting oil savings when oil prices were high, especially when NOI herself had warned that the oil prices would soon crash and Nigeria would be broke? Is that not why Nigerians are suffering today?

Governors fault indeed. It's like saying El Rufai or Fayose can force Buhari to share the money saved from the TSA. Impossible.

Thank God we got rid of you and Don Clueless Ineffectuanto.

The most important point she raised here is that during the 2008 oil price crash, the fact that she/OBJ/Yaradua had savings of up to $22bn in ECA, Nigeria didnt feel the heat of the oil price crash in 2008.

But under GEJ, governors forced the hands of GEJ until he shared the ECA funds. The question I have however is, the FG's share in the ECA fund was over 50%, so did the governors also force GEJ/NOI to spend the over $11bn which was the FG's share?

woodcook:
I may not be privy to truth about what happened behind the scene during GEJ tenure but one thing I know for sure from day one NOI presence was felt.

In the present administration I not sure if we have a finance minister, not even a bleep from her with all the uncertainty and hardship in the land. At least she should update Nigerians on what they are doing or planning to do to solve the current economic woes. I dont know when CBN governor and Lai Mohammed became finance ministers.

I tire for naija.

eLcastro:
nice point.,but when you remember hw much security vote was taking away...u will be shocked....now am not say GEJ/NOI was the best or will be the best Nigeria will ever see...but best believe that team really had good objectives...they were jus nt political enough

poiZon:

go school u no gree go. see as u dey embarass urself for public forum.
TSA is strictly federal govt affair for now, na only govt agencies, ministries, n parastatals dey involve. wetin consain states with TSA?
n u said governors dont hv powers compare to presidential powers, its like u dont really know d system of govt we practice in naija, again u still need to go back to school.
without states can a president win?
imagine if buhari won his state n other states had their own candidates, u think say buhari for win?
that is why no president can probe a state govr esp if ur eyes is on reelection or u hv someone in mind to succeed u.
go back n check d conteibutions of thos 5pdpgovrs did in the last election u will know what states r.

"Speaking to dwindling oil prices, Okonjo-Iweala said state governors did not allow Jonathan save for the rainy day, yet they are the ones complaining today"


She has been saying this since she left office. The only simple question she still can't answer is, where is the savings from federal governments share of the allocation?

If state governments refused to cooperate with the federal government to save from the federation account, why can't the federal government save from its own share if it consider saving a priority.

Huge savings were made during OBJ's tenure irrespective of whether the governors like it or not. Heaping the blame on governors is very irresponsible of her. The blame for not saving in a period of boom goes to her, Jonathan and the governors equally.

Shey Buarri can fight cabal ?

Why did he remove subsidy and re-introduce subsidy again ?

I am not supporting the sharing of the ECA funds though.

You sound foolish because you still cannot see that Jonathan was to blame because he was the GCFR and not Ngozi.

Jonathan did not provide the necessary cover Ngozi needed to do a good job. Ngozi worked under Obasanjo and she did very well; Obasanjo left a lot of money in the reserve. Ngozi is intelligent and worth her onion; the problem was lack of proper leadership from the presidency.

You guys should leave Ngozi alone; a president takes the blame for anything that happens in his government just like Buhari isbeing blamed for all the sufferings now.

100Cents:


Amaechi was the chairman of the governors forum.

That was where his loggerheads with GEJ started. He was seeing GEJ as his mate.

obailala:
NOI's ideas were overridden by the dubious plans of the hawks that GEJ surrounded himself with.

Goke7:
Indirectly madam NOI has indicted herself for the problems we have today, the excuses she is giving is what kemi adeosun too can come up with in some years time. Our public officials must accept responsibility for their failures and successes the way many are expecting PMB and his aides to accept responsibility.

If a cabal is too strong for you to operate, its better to resign, blaming them afterwards is cowardice.

This applies to both PDP and APC.

Are u not aware Okojo Iweala challenged Buhari that there was 30billion dollars in the excess crude account when Jonathan left office when buhari said there was nothing in the account why did Buhari not deny.Buhari is only trying to destroy the Opposition by giving them a bad Image.Buhari is a hypocrite
