Gov. Oshiomhole Blasts Ngozi Okonjo Iweala

Ngozi Iweala & Gov. OshiomholeGovernor Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole of Edo State has taken former minister of finance, Dr. (Mrs.) Ngozi Okonjo Iweala to the cleaners again. The governor wondered how a huge sum of N60billion can be released to all kinds of people to buy arms without the connivance of the former finance minister.

“That money which they claimed to have used to buy arms, was it appropriated by the National Assembly? Was it in the Appropriation Act? Did the then President (Goodluck Jonathan) have the power to spend money that has not been appropriated? Was he a military head of state? Does he have the powers that he purported to have used?

“The Minister of Finance who released the money, under which constitution does the minister have the powers to release monies from the national treasury that has not been captured in the national appropriation laws? If she did, is that not part of conspiracy?”
