[b]FAAC disowns Okonjo-Iweala; denies approving withdrawal of $2bn Excess Crude funds Commissioners of Finance and Accountants General of the 36 states of the federation on Tuesday distanced themselves from claims by the former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, that they were part of the decision to withdraw and spend $2bn from Nigeria’s excess crude oil revenue account last December. "It has come to our notice the statement credited to the former Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Honorable Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, that the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) approved the withdrawal from Excess Crude (Foreign) Account the sum of Two Billion U.S. Dollar ($2,000,000,000.00),” the commissioners said. “This statement is far from the fact and is misleading,” the statement said. The FAAC meeting for November 2014 ended in confusion when the then Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda, could not explain how the balance in the ECA had dropped from $4.1 bn at the end of October to $3.1 bn. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/186229-faac-disowns-okonjo-iweala-denies-approving-withdrawal-of-2bn-excess-crude-funds.html [/b] 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Okonjo Iweala, Nigeria’s former minister of finance said on Tuesday night that the $2 billion she was alleged to have withdrawn from Excess Crude Account without authorisation was used to pay for fuel subsidy on the instruction of former President Goodluck Jonathan. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/07/08/jonathan-ordered-me-to-withdraw-2bn-from-eca-to-pay-fuel-subsidy-okonjo-iweala/ 37 Likes 6 Shares |

So, when Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala talks about Nigerians having zero will to save, who are we to blame? Goodluck Jonathan, Governors? Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was the Coordinating Minister of the Economy. She was in the driving seat to direct the Nigerian Government. During a windfall of Crude Oil Sales at over $100, the person who was to save the money, dipped her hands in the reserves, without the knowledge of those who owned the money. She went on to deceive people that the FAAC backed it but later the FAAC denied her claims. She shifted to GEJ that he ordered her to withdraw from the ECA to pay for Subsidies. That was where we lost the will to save. Our Crude Sales were mismanaged during a time of plenty and we resorted to paying for Subsidy from the ECA. She was the one to find a way and show to Nigerians that we were to save but she was the one who first dipped her hands into the ECA without appropriation. 58 Likes 5 Shares |

boujaye: Amaechi also didn't want GEJ to interfere in governors forum election, yet he did. Is it that GEJ believed govs forum election involving 36 men was more important than saving for the rainy day involving 180million Nigerians? By how much had GEJ and NOI depleted the ECA before Amaechi led 23 PDP govs and 13 APC govs to demand the sharing? Did amaechi also order GEJ and NOI not to save federal govt share? You keep making us all believe GEJ was indeed a weak and balless leader. 111 Likes 7 Shares |

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is just one shameless woman that should STFU. She was the most powerful minister under GEJ and here she is talking about political will. Political will on whose part? OBJ was a domineering president and she was able to save under her, so, what's so difficult in saving under a GEJ that gave her absolute power to run the economy and finances of the country without interference? She should just admit her incompetence and stop looking for whom to blame for her failures. The achievements that were recorded during her first outing was as a result of the brilliant economic team put together by OBJ. Under GEJ, there was no brilliant team to work with and her incompetence was displayed publicly despite the unlimited power that she wielded. 68 Likes 5 Shares |

Finally Bubu vindicated Wailers can scream Okonjo knew what they were doing was not sustainable. She screamed in 2014 --Brace for tougher times ahead : http://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/171145-brace-tougher-times-ahead-okonjo-iweala-tells-nigerians.html --They borrowed money to pay salary http://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/182543-nigerian-govt-borrowing-billions-to-pay-salaries-okonjo-iweala.html Wailers know all these but when you mix tribal sentiment + political sentiment + religious sentiment , Brain disappears and you sit on Time Bomb. To say they call people Zombie is very laughable because inability to use ones brain because of loyalty describes wailers better than anybody. They are the real ZOMBIE One question for those blaming Governors for GEJ's failures " How did we save Under Obasanjo ? You can't compare a leader with a vision and a visionless Leader. This is why IStandWithAnybodyButJonathan. Wailers can fill their burial form. I don't care. We did not feel that recession that hit America badly then because of what we saved. Now that a similar thing happened, there is nothing to fall back on. "Jonathan only reigned he did not rule and was not in charge" Obasanjo 114 Likes 6 Shares |

When she says political will, she meant all our elected officers, e.g Amaechi and Fashola. Amaechi is first on the list coz he took the fg to court back in the days to deplete ECA savings. For those saying 2004, we all know the rascality of 2004 govs can not come close to that of Amaechi leg NGF. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

STILL ON NIG GOVERNORS VS FED GOVT OVER THE EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNT AND SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND. . . . . . PROF. SOLUDO'S LETTER TO MADAM OKONJO-IWEALA (January 2015) I hereby challenge your attempt to blame others for not saving for the rainy day. It is not a virtue when you are quick to appropriate all the credit when things are going well, but shift the blame when they go wrong. You blame the state governors— who, according to you, have taken the Federal Government to the Supreme Court—not that a Supreme Court judgment forced your hands. For your information, the governors have never agreed to savings and always threatened court action even under Obasanjo. Why did we save under Obasanjo but not under Jonathan? Two keywords explain it: leadership and integrity. Governor Amaechi said the governors insisted on sharing the funds because they found out that you were illegally fiddling with the savings. So, as Nigerians still wonder, if billions of dollars are now ‘missing’ under your nose, why should governors trust you to keep their money? Do the states that have taken the Federal Government to the Supreme Court and refused to save also include the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors—who are in the majority? If so, then it is fatal: even governors of your own party, PDP, do not trust you to keep their money! Furthermore, did the governors also stop the Federal Government from saving part of its share? If you ran a surplus budget at the federal level, you would have had credibility to blame others or to say they did not listen to your advice. The key point is that since you were running huge deficits yourself, it was also in your own interest to share the ECA. You did not show leadership or credibility, full stop! 1 Like |

We saved $22 billion because the politicalThis is what everyone with an organic brain knows. The savings made were used to salvage the economy when the shock waves came in 08/09 and beyond. The savings were depleted to an abysmally low level in her "second coming" and no extra savings were made (just as she said). Another wave of shock hit the market and by extension our economy in the twilight of the last admin, cascading down into this one and there were no savings with which to cushion the effect, hence what we are witnessing today. Now, one would wanna ask, those "bagging to bring back GEJ and NOI" to "fix" the economy since Baba and Adeosun are failing them is: what magic would the duo perform?? Are they going to "print $US" to throw at the problem?? The one that irks me the most is that old fool called Fayose who's completely lost his senses as to write a foreign government to grant the country badly needed instruments. Perhaps that man isn't a Nigerian. A thorough background check needs to be carried out on his true paternity. 59 Likes 4 Shares |
