₦airaland Forum

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the PDP-led Federal Government of trying to suppress the audit report on the missing $20 billion oil money, saying the deadline for the release of the report, which was set by the government itself, has come and gone.

In a statement issued in Ilorin on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala herself had said, at the Financial Times Africa Summit 2014 in London in October, that the report would be ready in November 2014.

It quoted the Minister as saying at the Forum on Oct. 6, 2014: ”We engaged PwC (PriceWaterHouseCoopers) with the Auditor General of the Federation taking the lead. They asked for 16 weeks to complete the work; they have spent 11 or 12 weeks so far and they will be done in a couple of weeks.”

APC said adding the remaining four weeks for the conclusion of the report, as requested by the auditors, meant that it should have been ready by latest Nov. 7th 2014.

”It is now over a month since the deadline for the release of the report expired, and the government has simply kept mum on the report, apparently in an effort to sweep the issue under the carpet, as it has done with all other reports of widespread corruption under the present dispensation.

”However, Nigerians will not allow this to happen. They will continue to demand that the audit report be made public, in the interest of transparency. We also believe that the Minister of Finance should strive to protect whatever is left of her international reputation by living up to her words that the issue will not be swept under the carpet. It is not only Nigerians but the entire international community who are interested in the outcome of the audit.

”If there is any reason why the report has not been released, the Minister should immediately come out and tell Nigerians. Otherwise, she should release the report today so that Nigerians will know exactly how much of their oil funds is missing and those to be held responsible for the unprecedented heist,” the party said.

APC said it refuses to believe the stories making the rounds to the effect that the FG is deliberately sitting on the report because it (report) has heavily indicted it and some powerful personalities in the Administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

”In announcing the forensic audit of the unaccounted for money, Mrs Okonjo-Iweala said the President supported it and asked for it to be done. Now that it has been done, why has the report not been released, even if it implicates the government itself?” the party queried.

It said the urgent release of the report will also end the rumour that the missing money is the source of the huge slush funds being used for President Jonathan’s re-election, as well as the speculation that it was the same missing money that formed the source of the huge funds that were round-tripped to the Jonathan campaign fund during his recent fund raising.

”Overall, a government that went cap in hand to borrow $1 billion to better equip the military in its fight against Boko Haram should not hesitate to get to the root of $20 billion missing oil money. Had that money not indeed been missing as alleged, would the government have needed to borrow $1 billion to pep up the Boko Haram war?

”We are therefore joining the millions of Nigerians who have demanded the urgent release of the audit report. Failure to do so before the end of the year will leave Nigerians with no choice than to conclude that the FG is indeed hiding something about the missing $20 billion, a conclusion that will indeed be more than justified,” APC said.

APC JOINS NIGERIANS

So they were not Nigerians before Mtsew ,as if APC members are not in the government that 'supposedly' stole the 20billion.

I laugh. Every reason to kick out this man back to otuoke. This man is too dumb. How can you have a tough opposition party yet shooting yourself in the foot by making secret a report of the audit committee that nigerians are yarning to read. Am so much disappointed in how this man became the president. This man called GEJ is a shame to man race during democracy era. Oponu oshi

the money would never be traced nor found, they should just forget about it, our leaders are typically oleee !

You see why you should think before you type?

1. APC is not a citizen like Nigerians but a political party (ie an organisation) registered in Nigeria.

2. It is $20Billion and not $20Million.

Be mindful how you expose your illiterate status.

Where is concrete evidence that 20billion is missing.?
Stop spreading rumors

Do you understand the OP at all?

NOI and Attorney General of the Federation paid PwC to audit the allegation of missing $20Billion by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the erstwhile CBN Governor.
We want to see PwC's report under the FOI act. It is overdue according to the timeline provided by NOI.

Why not just remain silent if you have nothing sensible to say? Can you give us the name of even one APC member that is in the government accused of making 20 billion dollars disappear? Is the name Alison-Madueke? Is it Okonjo Iweala? Is the "APC member" called Goodluck Jonathan? My friend it is not compulsory to speak. If you do not know the details about the missing money and those in charge of agencies, government ministries and parastatals that abetted the theft then shut up!!! It is not everything you sentimental , prejudiced and ignorant folks must play politics of enmity with. I will give you a clue by asking you to go and find out those running the NNPC. Kindly tell us, since 1999, of any PDP President that has appointed an opposition politician to run the NNPC or the Petroleum ministry. Nothing worse than an ignorant person who talks for the sake of talking alone.

Good.

Let me assume you're sensible.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala or any member of government in charge update Nigerians on the status of the audit report. The deadline agreed by Okonjo-Iweala herself is over.

Is it still with PwC and the deadline extended or Government is looking at it already?

Good luck as you search for real evidence and avoid rumors.

Goddluck Jonathan sacked Sanusi from CBN to coverup the theft,now he's trying to hide the report until after the election.

Remember the statement of andrew azazi when he said pdp is boko haram. He died few days after that statement. When pdp makes claims to buhari and others as responsible for their wores i just laugh. They compare nigeria case to syria, egypt, afghanistan etc. But in reality our case is quite different. The above countries are constitutionally recognised as islamic nations. And as such we do know the different sects exist in islam the shites (ordinary muslims) and extremists(sharia) it is reasonable to see a clash between both sect for supremacy because naturally islam is recognised and imbedded in their constitution. Their is bond to be a fight as to which sect should be superior to the other. In other islamic states where you find no clash, it is obviously so because the extremists have not decided to want to claim superiority. In nigeria we are not suppose to be talking about islamists because first it is alien to us. Nigeria is constitutionally a free secular country for all, no religion is endorsed over the other. In the 36 states the constitution didnt endorse any religion as lord over the other. During obasanjo tenure PDP tenure, because obj was seeking cheap popularity among the north, he resolved to use the tool of religion to get it. Sharia was given in islam and is believed to be the core and peak of islam, but it remains and has to be implemented to be practised. Obj and pdp aided by MUAZU(PDP current chairman) and sherima implemented sharia in full. That breed monsters and brought the believe in those who wanted to pratice sharia to the core to believe it can be approved for them nationwide and in all northern states. That is what boko haram is agitating for today and they belief they can force their beliefs to be accepted too. Pdp and their president were looking for cheap popularity for election and didnt care about the consequences it would take in the future

So all you can say about the exposed atrocities of Osibanjo is to blame the teenagers, eh? You must be one of those old men giving Nigeria headache and blaming the youth.
