Okonjo-Iweala has reacted to ECA's report in a statement signed by her media aide. Read after the cut...
We thank the Finance Commissioners for their clarification on the use of the Excess Crude Account (ECA) and for acknowledging that this is not an Okonjo-Iweala issue.
The statement clearly shows that Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) is a statutory body which is chaired by the Hon. Minister of State for Finance in which all the states are represented.
Payments made were used for paying for petroleum subsidies for the Nigerian people and were approved by Mr President.
Therefore there is no question of mismanaging any resources here.
For the avoidance of doubt, at no time did Dr. Okonjo-Iweala say that FAAC approved such expenditures. What she said was that all these expenditures were discussed at FAAC meetings attended by Finance Commissioners from the 36 states.
It is therefore clear that there was no misrepresentation by Dr. Okonjo-Iweala.
The question before us is: why is there such an excessive attempt to batter her name in an attempt to damage her reputation? It is clear as I said in my previous statement that the motive is malicious and very political and therefore will not succeed.
If monies were used to pay for subsidies for the Nigerian people and duly approved, why is Okonjo-Iweala’s name being battered in this way?
This persecution should stop.

Media Adviser to Dr Okonjo-Iweala

Maxwell was a handsome 6'4 hunk with 6 packs. He used to feel like he was a gift to the world but on this day he was crying like a baby, he couldn't let people know he was crying so he hid his eyes behind some wayfarers Rayban sunglasses.
He had devoted the last 6 years to building a career in body fitness, he had given the company the best years of his life, he had no friends and no hobbies; all his life revolved around the gym.
Yet on this day, he was fired without ceremony. He felt so used; he felt like a tissue paper that had achieved it's purpose. No farewell messages or gifts, just a curt "you are fired!" He knew he could get a job anywhere, it was the sheer cruelty of the act that broke him.
He was accused of flirting with one of the married women at the gym and nobody bothered to hear his explanation.
He made up his mind to never work for anybody again. Maxwell started his body fitness centre in his living room and in the space of 6 months, he became the most sought after personal trainer in the country. All the celebrities wanted him to work with them. He looked at his life over 6 months ago and he began to thank God that he was fired.
Sometimes in life, we go through challenges we don't understand, we are lied against and punished for what we don't know anything about. It is a painful experience.
If you are going through that kind of situation right now, I want you to take solace in Romans 8:28 (NIV) And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
You may not understand what you are going through but God does! Trust Him to sort you out. This scripture says God #causes #everything to work for the good of those who #love God. It's in your times of challenges that you should love God more, don't spend time plotting revenge or having a pity party. Move closer to God and He will bring a message out of that mess and turn that test into a testimony.
This is not the end of your life, this is your beginning, your best days are ahead of you. Raise your head up high and walk with your shoulders tall, you have made it this far, don't quit, you are last man standing, you will win!

she should shut up and finish the groundnut before her.
How on earth will it stop? The economy you coordinated as Minister of Finance for several years has nothing to show for it, instead our funds cannot be accounted for. Our national reserves have depleted grossly yet several months of salaries have not been paid...you are not better than robbers on the Highway, that you Pen and others use guns, stealing is stealing and nemesis will catch up with all you that have embezzled our public funds.
But dey dint touch her na...
Madam please forgive them for they know not what they are doing. Your image is intact, nothing and nobody can impinge your integrity. You are a noble PRINCESS from the primordial Ogwashi- ukwu kingdom (Ogwa-Nri-UKWU meaning "the-chambers-of-the-great-immortal"). You are the world acclaimed cerebral daughter of two professors. Ezigbo ada Eze Nshi-ukwu, please ignore them. Why should a lioness bother about the whining of jackals. Know you that these attacks are orchestrated by your jealous wannabe illegitimate shemale daughter of OBJ seeking undeserved recognition relevance.
Pls dey shd leave dat woman alone. She is a professional. Nt like edition state governor. Dat is making noise
Yes oo... Enough is enough
This nonsense n ingredient must stop
Carry go @Mama.
We know @Obi Eze is behind all this with her BBOG madness
You are her senior...she better take note!!
@Galore
You preferred greed and deceit over a good name, you think paying PR experts in the US to put your name in various international magazine awards will hide your hideous crimes against the people of Nigeria. The blood and sufferings of innocent Nigerians will continue to hunt you and your generations
Our economy is dieing and u telling us to stop what??? nobody is after her name but the monies that was lost unda the position her name held

Oshimole or whatever he is called should f**king shot up his gutters. The president is busy spending billions even trillions of naira now without a finance minister and no one is talking about it, and OSHI is accusing a formal finance minister who led and advised in her capacity on how finance should be dispensed properly. OSHI the motor park governor please concentrate more on managing your new wife.
I wish they'll listen. But this is democracy and people have the freedom to say what/how they feel. I hope she doesn't sue no one soon.

Big Fool! Since she stepped down d economy don beta? Mgbeke!
Baba go slow please appoint your ministers and leave the woman alone.
See who dey call person thief...you wey dey sleep and wake for LIB cos of 20k....pray you get quarter of wetin this woman don achieve for her life...miserable beggar
She is an educated over bloated thief. Pure and simple. She was over sold to us and the world. That was why the WB didn't select her. She is an overrated statistician and not even a credentialized economist. So until she tells us what she did with our money, we shall continue to hold her accountable. Ole.

Nonsense.
Criminal like you. Useless frustrated woman no wonder no man will marry you because of your excessive stupidity and foul mouth. Wallow and perish in you ignorance and self hatred but don't die before you see OkonjoIweala go higher and higher. Stupid idiot like you.
Im taking my afternoon cold tea
Yale University says you are an illiterate idiot and they should know an illiterate when he speaks after all Yale University has been there for more than 100 years and said OkonjoIweala is Nigeria's best finance minister. Something no one in your lineage will ever see because you have sowed the seeds of poverty and stupidly and that is what you will reap.
Thief STFU.
@Anonymous you are bigger fool for supporting a nigeria legal thief
May God bless you @Anonymous 10:45am..

Anon 3:49. Pls how did you come about Ngozi being a legal thief? Has any court of law convicted her? All you hear say commentators. I bet you don't even know a single thing about the economy of Nigeria talk less of the management of her finance. Yet you open your gutter mouth to call her a thief. Stupid idiot.
Anon 11:42 why don't you just shut your trap and stop displaying your ignorance. Must everything end up in Yoruba language? No wonder you guys write English language like you are speaking Yoruba. Stupid fool.
jobless and mischievous people should please Dr Ngozi Okonjo alone,enough is enough,mind you she served this country diligently,her performance was impeccable and outstanding,why do we always pick on the innocent ones like NOI ,while the guilty ones goes scott free
We must be very happy to have people like Dr Mrs Okonjo Iweala served us as minister for Finance because of her passion to see development in Nigeria in her lifetime. I love this great woman for her passion for development.
Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has come out to say the exact money borrowed by the former administration of President Goodluck Jonathan. What then is the basis of the allegation levelled against her? She served Nigeria to the best of her ability during her tenure as the Coordinating minister of the economy. Why then repay her with unfounded accusations that have no fact to prove them. Indeed, a prophet is not without honour, save in his home.
It is obvious that some people are bent on spoiling the good name this hard working and selfless woman has made for herself. As the finance minister, she was in the best position to know how to manage our resources, how then was it possible for her to singlehandedly get away with such a huge amount of money? Dr. Okonjo-Iweala has served this country with her life!
These accusations are senseless! Dr. Okonjo-Iweala has served Nigeria with her whole heart, and I see no reason why some people will wan to pull her down.
All Dr. Okonjo-Iweala has ever done was for the good of this nation and her citizens. So let it be known that she does not deserve any of the treatment she is getting from these selfish people.
Whoever made this story up is biased, and deceitful, find better things to do. Madam Okonjo-Iweala, we are proud of you, please ignore these hungry fools.
All these people lying against Okonjo-Iweala should go and die. what is their problem self that they would allow the young woman to have some rest. She will overcome all of you whether you like it or not.
Can you imagine that Okonjo Iweala is still a force to be reckon with despite all the campaign of calumny that has been waged against her?
God is always defending this woman against every form of attack from those who don’t wish her well.
Okonjo Iweala will not unilaterally withdraw from the ECA. She must have been given an order by President Jonathan. Therefore, mischief-makers must look for another work to do and leave this great woman alone.
