Soludo holds fire, but insists N30 trillion, plus AU’s N8.6trillion missing under Okonjo-Iweala


A former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Chukwuma Soludo, has released another statement, saying the N30 trillion he identified as missing under Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, does not include the about N8.6 trillion the African Union said is stolen from Nigeria annually.

Read full statement below

I STAND BY MY STATEMENTS
Chukwuma Charles SOLUDO, CFR

1. My attention has been drawn to statements credited to the Hon. Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, in response to my latest article and call for a structured debate on the issues. According to the report, she no longer wants to join issues with me. In the circumstance of the moment, I therefore withhold parts two and three of my promised three-part response.

2. Let me also state for the avoidance of doubt that I stand by every statement I made in the two articles viz: (1) “Buhari Vs Jonathan: Beyond the Elections”; and (2) “Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and the Missing Trillions”. In particular, I insist that over N30 trillion has either been stolen or unaccounted for, or grossly mismanaged over the last few years. This figure does not include the estimated $40.9 billion (N8.6 trillion at parallel market exchange rate or nearly two years’ Federal Government budget) which the African Union’s (AU) recent report claims to be “stolen” from Nigeria each year.

3. I wish to thank Nigerians all over the world who have been contributing to this timely debate. This is election time and it is expected that some vested interests will either choose to live in denial or attempt to politicise the issues. But from the debate so far, I am convinced that our economic management won’t be the same again. Once our managers know that the citizens will rigorously and vigorously challenge them to account, the welfare of the citizens will be better for it. Whoever wins has his job cut out for him, and to the extent that this debate has challenged the respective teams
to seriously re-examine their blueprints to guarantee the security and prosperity of every Nigerian, my objective is accomplished. I love my country Nigeria, and as I said before, I won’t keep quiet again.

Once more, Nigeria must survive and prosper beyond Buhari or Jonathan!

Soludo the Solution!!

Continue firing and exposing their corrupt government. Nigerians are solidly behind you.

Mr soludo the next minister of finance.


The guy is fighting really hard to secure NOI's job but unfortunately all his allegations cannot be substantiated, Tinubu won't even trust him to handle such a sensitive position and most unfortunately Buhari isn't even qualified to contest an election.

NOI has a case to answer.

Apc e-rats like berem dey dance sekem ontop soludo parboiled lies.

The soludo himself has no proof of the missing 8tn.

Apc propaganda on the verge.

Soludo no let me unleash FFK on you o

Gejtill 2019

Oya make una start to confess. Breeze don blow fowl yanch.

Very good of you to withhold the parts 2,3 for now

What is Soludo's problem.?


OK

Can someone ask Soludo how much got missing during OBJ's tenure since he knows so much without being in government means he knows so much when he was in government.?


Soludo tell us how much got missing during OBJ's era.?

But if i can ask a stupid question. What do they do with all this money?

^^^That's the AU that made the assertion, so take it up with them!

I like as Prof Soludo is making everyone focus on the issues that matter for a change! I've never hidden my admiration for the guy!

I don't understand. How much is Nigeria's budget? Is soludo saying FG is under budgeting or what?

"Either been stolen, unaccounted for or mismanaged".

All of the above, for me

GEJ is corruption personified. Nigerians have to stop this man before the country becomes totally bankrupt and insolvent.

Soludo is raising key questions here and also exposing FG corruption at an industrial scale.

Instead of NOI to respond accordingly, she is shying away from the issues. The PDP is putting the middle finger up and telling Soludo - na your papa money?

FEBUHARI on our mind...

Ngozi where is our money?

*sobbing






Our money








*sobbing

we Don suffer for this country oooooo

see How all our stolen Dey show face.....

GOD PUNISH ANYBODY WAY WAN SPOIL NIGERIA

When shalt thou have sense??

Have you even investigated to know whether it's true or not but you're already calling people names

yeah

Soludo what is wrong with you? I have been waiting eagerly for part 2 and 3 of your essay. You have to complete the series. Nigerians deserve to know. However, it seems you have pocketed NOI as she no longer intend to join issues with you for the fear of you unleashing sensitive, personal and career damaging details to the entire world. The woman has been performing voodoo economics on us.
