The 16 years rhetorics of the saintly APC: matter arising. HIstory of Excess Crude Account ECA Obasanjo left $20 billion Rotimi Amaechi, Babatunde Fashola led by Bukola Saraki in 2008 instituted a lawsuit against the Yar'adua government calling for the sharing of the $15billion ECA. Yar'adua in 2009 opted for out of court settlement. By end of 2009 it had dropped from $15billion to $6.5billion. Okonjo Iweala was not finance minister. Money was disbursed by Accountant General Alhaji Ibrahim Dankwambo. YarAdua Left $6.5 billion = Jonathan Inherited $6.5billion ECA Governors insisted that the $6.5 billion ECA be shared. In January 2010, Jonathan acceded to the governors' and shared $2 billion from the ECA. Despite the almost $4billion shared between January and May 2010, the Governors led by Bukola Saraki demanded that the left over $3billion ECA be shared. In August 2010 the FG under Jonathan bugged and withdrew the $3billion from the Excess Crude Account, leaving behind a meagre $460 million. Ngozi Iweala Era 2011 - 2015 Under Okonjo Iwaela as the Finance Minister the government started having renewed battle with the governors led by Chibuike Amaechi. In October 2011 Babtunde Fashola set up a team of SAN, threatened and demanded that the $1billion saved in Sovereign Wealth Fund be shared along with the billions in ECA. Jonathan proposed out of court settlement. Despite the out of court settlement, the Governors were so determined to share the money, instituted another lawsuit again two months later asking the Supreme Court to stop the FG from saving $2billion in SWF but instead "share the money”. Between 2011 to 2014 federal government took N3.29 trillion while the 36 states received a total of N2.92 trillion. They received N966.6 billion in 2011, N816.3 billion in 2012, N859.4 billion in 2013 and N282.8 in 2014. Government Grew ECA From $450m in 2010 to $9billion in 2015 As at August 2010, the ECA stood at meagre $450million. However, the NOI/GEJ increased this money to $9billion at the end of 2015. Now here are the key players. Rotimi Amaechi (APC/South South) is your Minister of Transport. Babatunde Fashola (APC/South West) is your Minister of Power, Works and Housing Busola Saraki (APC/Middle Belt) is your Senate President. Alhaji Ibrahim Dankwambo (PDP/North East) is Governor of Gombe State. Wake up from party and regional affiliation, Join the revolution. From North to south, West to East our current leaders are all vampires sucking the blood that flows throw all of us from 1966. This is about our collective future. 1 Like |

Same former governors crying wolf and key players in the Buhari government depleted the ECA. Nigeria is a joke with the greatest hypocrite in history at the helm of affairs. PDP wasted 16 years. 80% of same PDP people got you into power and are serving in your government. |
