Oshiomohole faults Okonjo-Iweala’s claim on ECA
Adams Oshiomhole
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole, has dismissed claims by former
Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, that she did not spend
N2.1 billion from the Excess Crude Account without authorization from
the National Economic Council.
Speaking during an interview with Channels Television on Wednesday morning, the governor said the former minister’s claim is not true.
“I think with all due respect to former minister Okonjo Iweala, she knows how to play around, I don’t want to lie with statistics.
“I have made this point that she keeps opening only parts of the pages and not the entire book. The logic of transparency is that the honorable minister must publish in full what is accruing to the federation account month to month and what is distributed to who,” he stated.
