Okonjo-iweala: I Said Governors, Not Jonathan, Lacked The Political Will To Save by Vee1Vee1: 1:06pm On Aug 16, 2016 |
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of finance, says her statement blaming the lack of political will to save funds under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan has been taken out of context. Speaking on the Chilean saving example at the George Washington University on Thursday, the former minister had said “zero political will to save in the last administration” was responsible for some of the challenges facing the country. But in a statement issued on Friday, Paul Nwabuikwu, media aide of the two-time minister, said Okonjo-Iweala was referring to the opposition of some governors to the efforts of the immediate past administration to save in the excess crude account (ECA) and in sovereign wealth fund (SWF). http://www.istylmagazine.com/news/africa/okonjo-iweala-i-said-governors-not-jonathan-lacked-the-political-will-to-save/ 1 Like |

dunkem21:1. The reason the governors (Both PDP and APC) did that was because the FG was dipping its hands into the cookie jar. In short, the FG was taking out money from money that does not belong to it 2. The FG got 51% of these funds right? Why was done with it? Did they spend it on cassava bread? 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Coming from the very same set of people who have stopped at nothing to accuse the present government of throwing only blames, I find this their attempt at blame passing to be the lamest. Governors prevented president from saving? Wonderful! Even if the governors decided to take their share of the ECA away from the already pilfering FG's custody, the last time I checked, the FG still retained more than half (52%) of those funds as its own share. So after governors took their share away, did the governors also charm the FG of GEJ and NOI into squandering their own share? The last time I checked again, over 70% of the governors were PDP at the time, and I doubt just the head of the governor's forum would be able to take a decision without the support of his peers who were mainly from the same PDP. In summary, this is a very dumb defence and a very lame attempt at buck passing. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

For clarity, NOI has not answered what government did with their own Share.. She is just correcting the statement that it was governors that forced her to share the YAM.. whether they roasted the yam, cooked or fried it is a question for another day. If we press on, she will reveal more! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Somebody should help us ask madam if uncle gej the only IB had the political will to save FG's share of the money. Why is madam so concerned about governor's political unwillingness to save their money? Can she tell us as the economic and coordinating minister how FG (which she as part of) demonstrated political willingness to save. After all, we know FG under her guidance borrowed money to pay salaries. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Was she Minister of Finance to the 36 State Governors or was she to Jonathan? Was she sleeping when she praised the Obasanjo administration and in the same context slammed Jonathan's administration? Too late to reverse your position, you were only being honest in the first instance. This rebuttal is an afterthought. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Na wah ooooo, never believed the IB could be portrayed as being more clueless than he really is, madam gele just did the impossible.. The govs excuse!!! What a travesty!! There is a difference between being a Democrat and being a weak willed soul... I hope all these badly educated kids and historical neophytes who commit the mortal sin (punishable by death) of comparing the IB to the great Lee Kwan Yew will take some few minutes off their perpetual internet trolling/ranting mode to research how he ruled with iron fists, brass and knuckles. Singapore wouldn't be what it is today if LKY had been a spineless "democrat"... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictatorship 5 Likes 3 Shares
