Arms Deal Probe: I Acted In Nigeria’s Interest – Okonjo- Iweala by baski92(m): 6:22am On Dec 12, 2015
The immediate past Minister of Finance , Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, yesterday, reiterated her innocence in the ongoing probe on the multi-billion dollar arms deal, stating that in all her dealings, she strived to protect the interest of the country.

Okonjo-Iweala, in a statement by her spokesperson, Mr. Paul Nwabuikwu, also alleged that unscrupulous and comprised individuals have distorted the contents of her memo to former president Goodluck Jonathan, seeking the transfer of $300 million and £5.5 million to the Office of the National Security Adviser, to portray her in bad light.
The statement reads: “ For the past week, Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole and other compromised persons and media have embarked on a campaign of falsehood against Dr Okonjo-Iweala. They have distorted the contents of the January 20 memo in which she responded to a request by the former National Security Adviser and quoted selectively from the document to make their false allegations of ‘illegal diversion’ of funds.
“For your information and a fuller understanding of the issues, please see the attached January 20 memo by Dr Okonjo-Iweala as published by some online sites. It confirms that Dr Okonjo-Iweala is a transparent person of integrity and patriotic professional who worked hard to protect the interest of the country and that her accusers are purveyors of falsehood on a political mission to tarnish an innocent patriot.”

My dear Ngo Babe, please don't tell me you are squeaky clean in all these. With your exposure to how civilised business affairs of a country are conducted, You should have stood up and played safe with due processes knowing what an inexperienced GEJ you had.

Ngo, you broke my heart and then again, you try to insult my sensibility. What did I ever do to you to deserve this? Ngo babe, there's nothing left for you to try to save! We have all seen fowl yansh. You can still make things right by telling US all you know. No scared cows.

very soon probe will be on your dinning table serving as breakfast, launch and dinner. What has been the achievement of previous similar charges. If you don't know time is tickling, 6months far gone, no vision,no mission in this change session.

1. Yes, corruption remains the country's number one problem. Once we're able to drastically bring it down, most other problems will easily be solved.

2. Yes, fighting corruption is a catalyst to reviving the economy.

Nevertheless, I expect corrupt souls and those sympathetic to corrupt politicians to disagree with me.

In my opinion, Ngozi didn't steal. But Ngozi couldn't stop the thieves from stealing what was entrusted to her care. When we are angry, it is because we had so much faith in her ability to prevent the rot; and she couldn't.

If NOI had any sense of preserving her name and integrity, she would have resigned long ago. Failure to do that meant she one way or the other benefited from the sleaze going on under her watch as Economic Coordinator. Soon we will know how she cornered her own share of the looting.

Shame on you madam!

Too early to say she didn't benefit one way or the other. If she didn't and watched on instead of resigning honourably, then she is the most incompetent finance expert in the whole world.

I agree with you somewhat. Nobody has linked her anywhere as a beneficiary; but she is not blameless. If she didn't know, that's incompetence. If she knew and did nothing, that's spineless and incompetence. She should have spoken out and resigned. Ngozi's reputation as a finance expert has been called to question. If I run a blue chip company, I won't hire her.

See them...What is really your point mr man let me understand you? As far as I'm concerned, Ngo has no case to answer. Your question and probe should be directed to Dasuki if he really used the money for what it's meant for. I'm sure Dasuki will be able to speak for himself in court. You people's campaign of calumny against NOI is not gonna work..lai lai angry

Thank you ma for your explanation.
Let this present federal administration sue you to court if not satisfied.

Meanwhile does anyone know when Buhari will have time for our immediate, pressing issues

- Fuel scarcity at N300 despite continuing to pay subsidy to the cabal.
- Boko Haram terrorism
- Power failure.
- Exchange rate of N260
