Ahmed Joda, the chairman of President Muhammadu Buhari’s transition committee, says Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of finance, might never be found guilty of corruption.
Joda said this to journalists in Yola, the capital city of Adamawa state, on Tuesday.
He said that while Okonjo-Iweala knew of the shady activities going on, she always sought the approval of Goodluck Jonathan, the former president, thereby protecting herself from prosecution.
He said that while Okonjo-Iweala knew of the shady activities going on, she always sought the approval of Goodluck Jonathan, the former president, thereby protecting herself from prosecution.
Joda said it was alarming that Okonjo-Iweala knew about the spate of corruption going on during the past regime, but held onto her job, presiding over fraudulent withdrawals from the economy.
“Okonjo-Iweala is a professional and she guarded herself. Whenever, they said this happened, she was able to produce papers to say, ‘Look, we had a meeting presided over by the president and attended by the national security adviser and others’.
“And she would go back and write the president and say, ‘I have received a request to release so many billions in accordance with our minutes. Your Excellency, if you will approve.’ And His Excellency would approve it. So, she covered herself, thus you can’t pin anything on her.”

*Well then,that means she is a smart woman and i respect her more for this..What should she have done with all the corruption going on back then?The ones that spoke out were disgraced and made to look like liars..where are they now?
she should come and take back the finance minister's job. That olodo woman Adeosun is making things worst. Recession i have forgotten for the past 16 years came back to look at my face.

DeleteSimple case of cunny man die, cunny man bury am. Igbo Kwenu!
DeleteLOL..APC hmmm.you guys should know that APC are trying to woo this woman into working in their administration. The woman has said NO that she can't work undder their tenure now they are trying to tease her with good name that she wasn't corrupt and all that so she can consider their offer.so if GEJ gave approval for her to withdraw money for her personal use not merited will that also not be term as corrupt.they should look for another praise song to sing. Tell APC that we are aware that the past govts is responsible for the state of the economy but then as the govt in power what is their blue printer on the way forward.. Who can compare to Abacha with regards corruption and looting, I don't remember hearing OBJ lament about Abacha's loot when he came into power.APC stop blaming and start working oo
DeleteWell, technically they are saying she was a passive minister...a puppet. They expected her to give expertise advise to her superior, or blow the whistle when she saw that things were going bad.
DeleteShe may not have looted with them but her silence was as bad abeg.
Stella Dear. Don't mind these stupid people. She is a highly respected woman and comtinues to prove her intelligence. Do you remember how Oshimole and co cursed her out for recommending that we save as a country. Yeye people!
ReplyDeleteWhen you have a commendable cv such as hers, you'd guide it jealously and not allow anyone tamper with your integrity. She may have been doing her job well, but she allowed herself and the office she occupied be used to loot the treasury dry. That's her shortcoming

This is one principle that works very well.documents.just write down d instruction in a memo and tell d boss to approve ur direct as appropriate,gbam! u have covered yourself.
ReplyDeleteThen by professionalism, the woman has duly discharged her duty without fear or favour. Since she released all funds duly approved by her boss. Kudos to her, she is answerable to her boss only and "speaking out" to persons other than her boss will constitute breach of her terms of engagement.
ReplyDeleteVery smart and intelligent woman!!!
Okay
ReplyDeleteEhen nau
ReplyDeleteShe is a sharp woman. Others should emulate her
Indeed, this things happened
ReplyDeleteHmmm...
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that there was no corruption under the GEJ govt. Money is needed to run any govt anywhere .
ReplyDeleteBuhari is just using all the tales of corruption to divert the attention of Nigerians from the economic reality on the ground.
James James!...
DeleteI was going to write this and this I knew when some fools that are now crying were supporting Buhari,money was in circulation then,now no money,no free cash nothing,we r going to be in this mess till 2019 except if the senate can help us to remove this man.

ReplyDeleteSmart woman, why can't you seek for her opinion over this recession? Pride goes before a fall.

ReplyDeleteThe chicken have come home to roost.
ReplyDeleteThe so called anti corruption war which is in reality a political witch hunting exercise is falling apart like a pack of hastily arranged cards.
How can a govt be corrupt if the finance minister and supervisor of the common wealth is a saint?
James,you know I love you...
DeleteCome out from this anon mood abeg...
Well said......pls educate them! #How can a govt be corrupt if the finance minister and supervisor of the common wealth is a saint? "If you ask me na who I ask" just singing
DeleteLinda stop it. U know this can't be James ... He writes like you ... He can never be as articulate as this
DeleteSmart lady!
ReplyDeleteEnd time gele
ReplyDeleteThat's good for her at least she is a professional and smarter than GEJ's wife.
ReplyDeleteThat woman need to be stripped of every kobo in her accounts till she can state her source of wealth.
Broke ass mayor should be reported to EFCC for scamming people of their hard earned money!...

DeleteDonMayor...let's start with Aisha Buhari & work upto Mrs. Yar'dua, then OBJ etc. and this corruption fight would be fair. I'm not interested in whether she stole or not but let the "ass-check" be for everyone not a select few
DeleteSharp woman, there is very little she could have done about it actually
ReplyDeleteIf u knw about/or carry our murder and u don't report then u are an accomplice. e.g major hamza. She is an accomplice of corruption.
ReplyDeleteYou know this
DeleteWhich corruption is this fool talking about. Is only a fool whose brain got damaged as a result of eating aishalibuton rice during campaign last year, that will believe whatever these lying lairs and boko haram sympathisers are saying. APC and their zombie followers are the scum of the earth.
ReplyDeleteLol. This guy get mouth sha. Jeez!
DeleteNothing lasts for ever. Not even a government position of minister of finance or coordinating minister of the economy. She should have quietly resigned since she earlier said that she came in to serve and help the people and not to make money. She claimed to have left a more lucrative job to take a less paying job just to help her fatherland. Oh, I now get it. She left a better paying job to take a less paying one to help her fatherland bury its already dead carcass. Yes she would have succeeded in this venture if she and her ilk had spent another four years. She is so patriotic in deed.
ReplyDeleteHaving covered herself smartly, how much did she steal and cover? Yes she couldn't have been there just acting as an undertaker without payment. Yes undertakers are paid.
Her smartness did not prevent her from having a husband always caught having sex in a hospital car park
Borrow sense please! What has the husband got to do with the issue at hand? Or are your sisters among those caught having sex with him?
DeleteSo you remember the sexy husband bit too.
DeleteI remember when I read it in a popular daily newspaper ages ago. I kept wondering how the embarrassing drama ended but it seems the story was 'buried' on arrival.
First off, get some brain in your thick skull. If you're saying she stole...PROVE IT! If you can't, swallow your bile all to your bitter self. Secondly, did her husband sleep with you or just another hearsay that you're propagating? Pictures and names of the fuckees will go a long way to buttress your allegation & if you can't...you already know the routine. Moron
DeleteOh la la la
DeleteWao@Anonymous!!! Please teach me abeg. Which dictionery u get this word 'fuckess' . I love Nigerians, very very intelligent species. My pple you all rock by ur use of words. Jesss
DeleteMalamu joda shush it.. Yes, rufe baki nka.akuya banza.
ReplyDeleteThis woman can do no wrong in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteHow do you respect a woman who condoned so much stealing. She is a theif herself to have watched it happen. She could have resigned. She is intelligent enough to get a good well paying job. But no she looked away because of some material benefits.
ReplyDeleteZeinab Suleiman, of course you must support your dull unintelligent spent brother Buhari that has nothing to offer this country.
DeleteSame way you respect a man who overthrew a democratically elected government on the basis of corruption and sought to benefit (shit! he's already benefitting) from same process he abused. Calling Nigerians corrupt & yet living off the taxes of corrupt people as President
DeleteA role model anytime anyday
ReplyDelete"Corruption under Jonathan" all the time like any govt b4 now has been corruption free...na wa o
ReplyDeleteStella and her ilk saying "Smart Woman", I hope when your close relative knows evil is being planned against you but covers herself, you won;t cry foul and say "She should have told me."
ReplyDeleteClearly, the lack of sense that is destroying Nigeria is with its populace!
PG 18
DeleteToo many olodo Nigeria. She never said she knew anything about corruption, she only documented which is normal for any professional to do. You keep records of your spending nothing smart about that only people trying to making look defferent and another way to tag godluck corrupt. We no wan hear all this bullshit abeg, make una do una work.
ASHAWO WAS 1's A VIRGIN
Hmmmmmm
DeleteIs APC still trading blames? Close to 2 years in office and you're still looking for who to blame. Shebi una say $1 = N1? Make una do the magic. Nigerians voted out PDP & their corruption so APC's saintly impacts can manifest in our lives & we are seeing? Same PDP products under APC veil, deceiving and looting the country dry while ordinary Nigerians and scampering for scraps to feed.
ReplyDeleteHmmm who do we believe?
ReplyDeleteYes Madam Ngozi was being very professional by #covering her ass' Written instruction is one of the hallmark of any organization and those who do things based on verbal instructions alone ought to learn from this. That being said, Madam Ngozi has no integrity if indeed she knew the gravity of corruption going on in GEJ govt and she did this nation a great disservice. What she did can be likened to a professional assassination and she can be considered an accessory to corruption.
