Economic Council, NEC, in this interview with Sunday Vanguard insists that the President
Goodluck Jonathan administration plundered the nation’s economy despite the defence
being put forward by the former Minister of Finance, and Coordinating Minister for the
Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
As a matter of fact, the Governor who is a member of the National Economic Council,
NEC, made further disclosures revealing that under the watch of Okonjo-Iweala, the
Federal Government spent the sum of N140billion on consultancy for the Second Niger
bridge. He said the money was sourced from the Sovereign Wealth Fund, SWF, illegally,
asserting that the Igbos must hold the former President responsible since such amount
was expended with no bridge on ground.
He insists that the nation cannot succeed in the war against corruption unless people
are prosecuted, stressing that “If Nigerians know what these people did, they will stone
them to death, jungle justice. 700 million dollars gone on second Niger bridge without
any bridge to show”.
Oshiomhole, visibly angry, said he may not be able to reveal as much as he would have
liked but maintained that if Nigerians knew what actually went down during Jonathan’s
reign, they would stone him and his cabinet members on the street.
