Blame game from Madam best economy on paper.

If not for the timid, ineffectual, incompetent and clueless president, how can ordinary governors hold a President and commander in chief to ransom, was he such a dullard to not know the effect of wasting oil savings when oil prices were high, especially when NOI herself had warned that the oil prices would soon crash and Nigeria would be broke? Is that not why Nigerians are suffering today?

Governors fault indeed. It's like saying El Rufai or Fayose can force Buhari to share the money saved from the TSA. Impossible.

Thank God we got rid of you and Don Clueless Ineffectuanto.
at least you are happy now that your president doesnt listen to anyone, all he does is from his head and his mind, even to obey court order is a sin from his life. so you should be happy now that hes rulling in Millitary clothing. una go suffer, una just they start

As I recall, the governors demanded their share of the ECA because the FG was constantly withdrawing from the ECA, without the consent of the states and local governments and without appropriation by the National Assembly. This is illegal and a pure case of continual theft by the FG. Madam Iweala's argument that the then Governors Forum forced her hand in sharing the ECA by taking the FG to court is ludicrous because there was no record of a Supreme Court judgement that ordered the sharing of the funds.

Even at that, the FG has no business saving money on behalf of states in a federal republic and purporting to save for states while stealing from the same savings is even more ludicrous. Per the revenue allocations formula, the FG's share of that money is 52%. Where is it saved? Especially when oil was sold for $100+ dollars per barrel. The FG was even borrowing and issuing Sovereign Debt Notes, in a time of very high oil prices. Iweala was running a deficit budget at the federal level in a time of $100+ dollar oil per barrel. She was a epic FAILURE! End of story.

The State's share of the money per the revenue allocation formula is 26%, which if divided by 36 states, averages 0.72% per state. Where lies the wisdom in blaming states for the depletion of the ECA when their share is average of 0.72% per state, when a whopping 52% belonging to the FG, is nowhere to be found. No wonder, even PDP states could not trust the Jonathan led FG with their money and demanded their share of the ECA.

Jonathan ordered me to withdraw $2bn from ECA to pay fuel subsidy – Okonjo-Iweala

Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Nigeria’s former minister of finance said on Tuesday night that the $2 billion she was alleged to have withdrawn from Excess Crude Account without authorisation was used to pay for fuel subsidy on the instruction of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

She however said the issue was discussed at the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC), a statutory body which is chaired by the Minister of State for Finance in which all the states are represented.

The former Minister however said FAAC did not approve the withdrawal.
It will be recalled that Nigerian state governors had after the inauguration of the National Economic Council about two weeks ago accused Okonjo-Iweala of spending $2 billion from the ECA, a pool of funds which belonged to the three tiers of government.

The bloody lying woman was already spending the ECA funds without appropriation and she is lying as if she guarded the money with her mother's life.

ECA: FAAC faults Okonjo-Iweala, denies approving $2bn
withdrawal


The Federation Account Allocation Committee on Tuesday
faulted comments credited to a former Minister of
Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, that it approved the
withdrawal of $2bn from the Excess Crude Account.
The committee, in a statement issued on its behalf by
Forum of Finance Commissioners in Abuja, stated that
the law setting it up did not give it the power to approve
withdrawals from the ECA.

Okonjo-Iweala had while responding to allegations made
by state governors that she made withdrawals from the
ECA without authorisation, said issues relating to
expenditure were usually discussed at FAAC meetings
attended by finance commissioners of the 36 states of
the federation.

Hehe!
I don't want to say this woman is dumb. I tot she initially said she didn't touch any money? why is now shivering with the truth? Jonathan ordered u without the consent of ur committee of looters(FAAC), and u consented as the dunce that u are, knowing fully well that ur the coordinating minister. You just declared ursef useless with this statement. It is better u retract dis statement and be probed than to still append it and still be probed.

But what she said happened. Oshiomole, Amaechi and Akpabio never wanted the sovereign wealth fund. They depleted it and what you posted shows the gullibility of Nigerians. Governors are the problem of this country but yet wE don't point fingers at them.
she said,he said,they said.

she practically was lying,her reply was in retrospect,amechi made his allegations,while they were in government together and she never refuted him.

In a letter written to "NOI" from charles soludo(fmr cbn governor)....he said the past governorns decided to share the money because it was found that the federal govt& its cabinets were MEDDLING with the funds &didnt trust the leadership of the money in their hands. This was the reaso behind their actions. And today, we could see how GEJ administration spent recklessly with little to show on ground

They headed to court, amaechi was chairperson gov forum. Gej was law abiding

unlike your dullard . Gej simply obeyed court
law abiding,or jolted to obey,after finding out he had spent what was not his(2billion),
the thing you people should be asking yourself (okonjo ewele advocate),what exactly is she trying to achieve,

1,my mom was kidnapped because of my unpopular policy
2.the governor were against the policy
3.Gej gave the approval.

these traits exhibited,does not may her,one that make her own decisions,na any where belle face reply
she get,a characteristic of a mature zombie,wailers keep advocating...

Governors fault indeed. It's like saying El Rufai or Fayose can force Buhari to share the money saved from the TSA. Impossible.

Just the same way we thought that her administration wasn't doing enough until now. The good thing is that no body is immune to the present economic challenge.

I may not be privy to truth about what happened behind the scene during GEJ tenure but one thing I know for sure from day one NOI presence was felt.

In the present administration I not sure if we have a finance minister, not even a bleep from her with all the uncertainty and hardship in the land. At least she should update Nigerians on what they are doing or planning to do to solve the current economic woes. I dont know when CBN governor and Lai Mohammed became finance ministers.

I tire for naija.
Because you lack knowledge of world economy, when you fail to save at your young age you pay when you are old.

Oil boom is over, Nigeria have no choice than to manage and diversify.

Stop your propaganda.
The governors took the Federal government to court insisting our savings be shared, same can happen in this administration.
The question is What did the federal govt do with its share of the money. If states ask for their share, the federal govt still had the lion share. what did the court say about the money? Did the court order the federal govt not to save their share of the money? These are the questions.

I weep for my country. see the way graduate is reasoning. is it the job of finance minister to think for the president.. abi her own is to account for collected money and share to states and ministries.is it your accountant that strategies how your business will go or how you run your home
Hahah stop brandishing your ignorant!

What is the job of finance minister, if not to advice the president on issues pertaining to economic policies and how they affect the country and the best way to move the economic forward. It is not my fault that your president chose to hire an accountant for the job for an economist!

I wonder where you got your degree! "I cover face for you".
