Okonjo-iweala Bombs Soludo, Says He’s Nigeria’s Worst CBN Governor Ever by Franchise21(op): 12:56pm On Jan 28, 2015
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.

Meanwhile, read full statement by the minister below.

Madam economic minister please reply him by providing counter argument to what Soludo wrote that is the proper way to defend yourself and your records.
WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE FORENSIC AUDIT OF THE MISSING #20 BILLION USDOLLARS. MADAM WHERE IS THE RESULT.
