There
were reports last week that former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
sent a list of corrupt deals done during the past administration to President
Buhari. Dr Okonjo-Iweala, released a statement through her media aide, Paul
Nwabuikwu, discrediting the report. The statement below
The recent report by
the integrity-challenged website, Saharareporters and some other media that
former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has handed over a “dossier
of corrupt deals” perpetrated by the Jonathan administration to President Buhari
is completely false and without foundation. This sponsored lie is part of the
political attack by the pay masters of Saharareporters against Dr
Okonjo-Iweala.
These attacks will continue given that these individuals are bent on a political and personal vendetta against her. Why are they angry? It is simply because she tried to bring integrity and transparency to the management of Nigeria’s public finances which obviously did not suit their interests. Saharareporters which has a long history of publishing falsehoods and distortions against Okonjo-Iweala is a paid tool of these individuals. But the lies of Saharareporters and its cohorts will never stop Okonjo-Iweala from loving her country or make her regret serving it, not once but twice. As always, we are confident that the truth shall prevail. Paul C Nwabuikwu Media Adviser to Dr Okonjo-Iweala
