Soludo Has An Issue Of Character & Desperate For Relevance—Okonjo Iweala (Throwback)

The Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Wednesday took the former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Chukwuma Soludo, to the cleaners over his criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan’s management of the country’s economy, saying his comments amounted to committing “intellectual hara-kiri”.

The Minister, who spoke through her Special Adviser on Media, Paul Nwabuikwu, accused Mr. Soludo of single-handedly mismanaging the country’s banking sector between May 2004 and May 2009 and plunging the country into “an incredible accumulation of liabilities that will cost tax payers about N5.67 trillion”.

Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala, apparently livid, described the former CBN governor as “an embittered loser in the Nigerian political space” who is “so derailed” to “commit intellectual harakiri by deliberately misquoting economic facts and maliciously turning statistics on their head to justify a hatchet job”.

“Soludo has shamelessly pandered to so many past leaders that Nigerians are asking one more time – what position is Soludo gunning for now?” she asked.

“There is definitely an issue of character with Prof. Charles Soludo and his desperate search for power and relevance in Nigeria. Nigerians should therefore beware of so-called intellectuals without character and wisdom because this combination is fatal,” she added

No wonder

Abi....

Soludo has pressed the wrong botton. Time to collect his own wotowoto. Fr Mbaka and Ekweremadu should have been a lesson notes for him.

The simple truth is that most politicians from the East are envious of Obi. If he was to be from the west, the people would have valued him more. Go and study how as a finance minister, Chief Obafemi Awolowo guided the then Nigerian government through the civil war without borrowing. These are the attributes that Obi possesses abundantly. Without sentiment, some countries will like to hire Obi to guide them through the way to economic stability when Nigeria fails to grab the golden opportunity.

True

I'm disappointed in Soludo, never knew the man is so clueless and had no idea of governance.

Just travel round Anambra cities and see dilapidated roads everywhere, he should be busy working on the dead roads and not talking. We have entered the dry season, he should kick off road projects immediately and stop playing to gallery.

Soludo has started to repulse me...he hasn't blamed his direct predecessor Willie Obiano, his only problem is Obi that left office more than 8yrs ago.



Let's start blaming soludo for Godwin emefiele's mismanagement as the CBN governor

hehehehehehehehehe

Mods, do not put on front page. This is 2015 article when Ngozi was not happy with the economics professor for exposing fraud and lack of accountability under her portfolio in the Jonathan administration.

Soludo character is intact. Looters don't like him.

Okonjo iweala has worked with soludo...both were once government officials.

are you trying to tell us you know soludo more than she does

Who are you Mr ITK??

Soludo told NOI that her economics is now rusty since she has spent a lot of years in the world bank bureaucracy.

That guy no respect anybody o.

In his mind, he is the best in the world.

nlfpmod

When you combine world class education, with Igbo arrogance and megalomania in HD, and a sprinkle of envy, you get soludo.

I am beginning to see soludo as over rated, over certificated, Nigeria professor, what has he really achieved in Anambra

This word called ARROGANCE will killed Soludo mark my word.
