Speaking at a function, the Governor queried the Minister for speaking up about the falsification of claims by the oil marketers just few days after the government in which she is a minister will be leaving office. He said the Minister should take sole responsibility for any discrepancies recorded in the subsidy claims and in the Economy as a whole.
"It is quite intriguing that with barely few days left in office, she has suddenly woken up from her slumber to realize that oil marketers have all along been falsifying subsidy claims and defrauding the nation of billions of naira and dollars. The question to ask is: how come that it is now, for the first time, that we are hearing from the Minister of Finance about fraudulent claims by the oil marketers amounting to billions of Naira? At what point did the Minister of Finance and CME realize that these fraudulent and similar claims are going on? When did it start? Is it just recently or it has been going on all along? These questions are pertinent because we know that if the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) were doing its work diligently, all claims by oil marketers would be vetted on a daily basis before their payments are processed by the Ministry of Finance. Hence, there should be no dispute about the amount due to oil marketers at any point in time.
What the foregoing, therefore, suggests is that all along, PPPRA, the Ministry of Finance and the oil marketers have been involved in an unholy alliance, in the mismanagement of the fuel subsidy regime and in the process defrauding the nation of its revenues. The recent nationwide fuel and energy crisis, adjudged the worst in the economic history of Nigeria, is merely a reflection of the gross mismanagement of the economy which characterized Dr. Okonjo-Iweala’s tenure since 2011"he saidHe said the Price water Cooper's audit report on the NNPC revealed “massive abuse of public trust and stealing of our common patrimony in high places under her watch and the government she serves”.

~D great anonymous!
These are salient questions,too serious to be ignored.Anyways I'm not surprised. The outgoing administration has perfected itself in the art of blaming others for their woes.They lack the balls to own up to their mistakes which to me is foolhardy.
All correct sir. The time allotted to them is up.
Oga no vex,..by tomorrow una de enter government
I don't know who to believe but I want things to go back to normal
Oya ngozi u too talk ur own make we hear all we know u are not longer minister as from today

Trust me dats one of d smartest Governor Nigeria has, and PDP said he didn't goto school....
we re stil waitin 4 d truth dat wil stil cm out frm dis whole drama.
#onye obula mulu anya dika azu.......
Ngozi Okonjo has never agreed they ever mismanaged funds.They keep sweeping informations under the carpet while looting away our money.
Is it only the oil subsidy claims that have been falsified by the outgoing administration? Nigerians will need to grab a chair by the time the real debt that this administration has ran Nigeria into. Forget about the amount that is being stated now, it's all lies and unimaginably more than that! I wonder how the present administration will cope without borrowing and thereby increasing our debt! Only God will judge the recklessness of the past administration, how one can do this to his country and citizens without any iota of conscience is way beyond my comprehension.

Dis illiterate rascal governor again. Can dis man talk economy where our amiable Minister is standing? Oshiomhole should go nd hide his black head in shame
They all have been working hand in hand to defraud the nation no b today
This fuel subsidy is a serious blackhole. Some people have really fed fat on it. Walahi!
Get the phone of your dreams at unbelievable discounts. Apple, Samsung, LG, Tecno, Infinix all included. Check it out.
Hmmmmm, I hope my Governor memory is stil intact or our new iyawo magic touch has started making him lost touch wit realities.
Let me refresh our Governor memory or where do I actually start frm other than when she cried, and advocated for subsidy to b removed years back bcos of d malpractise's dat were involved.
Wht a shame dat my Governor resulted to earning cheap attentions via saying wrongful tins abt her. Pls all dis people in authority should learn to stop throwing blames.
Well their boss has indirectly admitted that they were chowing the nation by saying probing his Government only will be like "witch-hunt"
They should just pack this woman and the other ones and make them scape goats; maybe leave GEJ because he's Linda's Hero and we like Linda too much.
OSHOIMOLE PLS SHUT UP. THOSE FALSE CLAIMS CAME AFTER THE DROP IN OIL PRICES A FEW MONTHS AGO WHICH CREATED A DEFFERANTIAL IN PRICES THEREBY LEADING TO FALSE CLAIMS FOR THE DEFFERENTIALS. WHAT SHE MEAN'T IS THAT THE OIL MARKETERS HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ENJOYING PROFITS MADE AS A RESULT OF INCREASE IN OIL PRICES IN THE PAST WHY THEN WOULD THEY BE ASKING THE GOVT TO PAY THEM LOSSES MADE AS A RESULT OF A DROP IN OIL PRICES. USE YOUR HEAD MAN OR ARE YOU NATURALY DUMB
Gov Oshiomhole comes hard on Okonjo Iweala?! Naughty Linda! No pun intended i hope! Cos he should be coming hard on his wife oh!
Very simple and short.
So true baba, she thinks we are all ignorant and unaware cos she's an economist, she failed and she can't accept it.... She shd get ready to go to kirikiri.
Ngo baby Kirikiri awaits you.
Dont mind dis woman............ May 29th is just tomoro....and we will say bye bye to jati jati pple
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB......
He must received lesson from his newest wife
The false claims were made based on differentials in the value of the Naira from the time the marketers imported to the time they sold. To my recollection the Naira was devalued sometime in February or March and so Okonjo Iweala is just referring to occurences that are very recent. I have a feeling that the members of this incoming administration are either dumb or are just playing ignorance so as to paint the out going administration very bad.
Shut up you are also a liar for saying you met your whorish wife as a virgin,Ngozi spoke now because of the harsh situation cos it got worse,shut your trap stupid man
Lol @ woken up from her slumber!
OKORO UPGRADED**
Confam sir!!! you are 120% correct!! they should not do like they are just finding out wat has been going on for almost 6yrs under their administration....All the ministers under Jonathan must be probed...plus Defence and Education ministers..those ones chopped plenty money too
Brilliant question comrade! Very brilliant
Sharrap!!! Oshiomole. You must be a mad man. A mad man indeed. I can't believe what i am hearing with my 2 ears. This country is crazy. Was it not this same woman that asked you to remove the fuel subsidy and NLC led by you "OCCUPIED NIGERIA?". I AM SO LIVID, I FEEL LIKE BOXING YOUR UGLY FACE.
Nigerians are really gullible. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala asked for fuel subsidy to be removed and the whole country went on strike now she refuses to pay fake subsidy based on false claims of price differentials and people are still castigating her. I weep for this country
Except Adams is naive of the reasons for cutting down fuel subsidy due to fake marketers or he is one of those fake oil marketer trying to claim subsidy.
APC knows how to twist and turn the words of the outgoing administration to the point that it is no longer recognisable. For instance people are asking why Jonathan did not probe the previous administration before his. Well the answer is that "They are the people that put him in power". If you expect GEJ to probe OBJ's administration then Buhari should also probe Tinubu, Ameachi etc. because those were also the people that put him in power and they were corrupt govt officials
And you nko???? You know I am still jealous oof you for your wife. SO shush and leave Dr. Ngozi alone.
Osho baba!!!! Very wor-wor governor.
Okonjo and others should be hold responsible for the dawn fall and degrades of Nigeria Economy... Hell is real oooo.. Any form of embezzlement should be capital punishment in this country that the only people that goes to prison are those that stole 2000 and tomatoes. Nija for the rich alone oga ooooo.
WAITIN FOR HER RESPONSE...TOMJERRYSWIT
Preach Nigga
For the first time since 2012 during the town hall meeting when Oshiomole supported the fuel subsidy, I just lost respect n admiration for him cos I because I believe that as an NLC former leader, he should understand the plight of the masses who will suffer the subsidy pains... and I must say LOUD n CLEAR that Okonjo Iweala and Madueke are just the clueless elements of GEJ regime. How can a Minister of Finance blab on Channels TV that she "heard about the JP Morgan Account but not privy to it" Is that not a confusing statement??! U heard about it but not privy to it??? #dumb##. I don't know why they can't learn from the likes of Evelyn Oputu, Late Dora Akunyuli.... they should be probe. when mothers steal or not accountable for their charge.. what example are they laying for us the younger ones... it's a shame. A Society where the adults are sleeping and the babies are crying for the future ruins their lazy sleep will cause... I don forgive Oshiomole for his statement during the "Town hall meeting on AIT".. pls sir stand for what is right. we the leaders of tomorrow are watching you; ur flaws n vices

Yes Oshomole, is right, Nngozi iwela, will not go freely she must be probe
Well said. My governor.
Thank u sir, u have said it all....Ngozi iweala is jst as cunny as our outgoing President...they are all thieves!...i jst thank God they are leaving dat place....Awon oloriburuku!!!
Osho baba carry your confused brief self and the daughter u call your wife to where deem fit. And leave ngozi alone #ekpo
Osho baba! I so much respect uuu ooozb but on this issue, I disagree wt uu cos u are not been fair to my role model nd the gvt she servess
Let's wait for her response though.
A lot of Oshiomole's supporters on this blog site are either blindsighted or have short memories. Is Okonjo Iweala not the same person that asked for the subsidy to be removed because it reaks of fraud and Oshiomole together with NLC went out of the street to protest?. His whole speech is laced with hypocricy
PLS SOMEONE SHOULD GIVE ME A GUN LET ME SHOOT THIS UGLY MAN'S FACE. ARE YOU NOT THE SAME PERSON THAT STOPPED THE FUEL SUBSIDY FROM BEING REMOVED? EVERY SINGLE THING IS YOUR FAULT. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DECEIVING. FOOL.
Lara don finish youoooo

On point. I like you too
We are in the same boat. Jonathan nd co has no heart
Fuck you pedophile and crib robber. How did you go from being a wreteded laborvunion lesder to having cars and houses that you have? Can you pass a real audit? Talking shit after fucking around with your daughters age mate using stolen money belonging to edo people. Piece of shit. Dont assume that because buhari came to your crib robbing celebration means thatYou Arenot a thief in the eyes of the plain law or guilty of the same accusations leveled against ngozi.
Go back to school and learn how to use have and has
...Clearly Ngozi troll
...Clearly ngozi troll
See native pot calling kettle black! Has Oshiomole not been guilty of several atrocities? Reading some of the comments here, I am glad to see that Nigerians are quite frankly speaking their minds. Osho baba! You have no case!!!
osho baba have you returned from honeymoon?
This man just has no sense o! You guys kept asking for money from the ECA and then you turn around to say you want the details of the account made public. What did you think the Finance Ministry was going to publish if not the fact that greedy governors like you could not leave well alone. Shame on all of you, especially you, Oshiomole, for you lack of discretion and maturity.
Very funny post indeed. So Osho baba has mouth to utter such nonsense when he knows that he and his band of highway robbers called governors wrecked this economy when they frequently and constantly plundered the ECA. Madness!
Why r u asking him 2 go 4 honeymoon? D man is saying nothing but d truth. Jonathan's regim has really ruined Nigeria, dey shd all b sent 2 jail
People like Osiomole are suffering from mental retardation if not how can he blame Okonjo-Iweala for his dismal performance as governor of Edo State. If he has lost ideas about how to run a state, let him just throw in his resignation letter and allow better and more competent people to manage the state.
I think you're suffering from a lil memory loss or you're just ignorant. The NLC that occupied Nigeria was les by comrade Umar wahab and not adams oshiomohle
You're the one that has short memory cos oshiomohle was in support of the removal of subsidy. That action made him lose few supporters cos they felt he had abandoned the masses he fought for as a former labour chairman.
Please if anyone has come accross Adams Oshiomole, he should please deliver a message to him that he is a mad man. If he is not a mad man he will never have blame his own failure on another person. The fact that he cannot sleep with his new wife should not blame his potent brother for such.
Linda, the problem with our Nigerian leadership is HYPOCRISY. They hunt with the hounds and run with hares. At the inception of Jonathan's Presidency, he removed Fuel Subsidy but this same Oshiomole and his fellow wiseacres protested most violently against the removal. Now we are all suffering from their myopic, uninformed and selfish actions. Oshiomole should therefore shut up.
Okonjo has been openly stubborn about this and she started it in the first place. I am no longer angry, just happy she and her Boss is out
When the Finance Minister was canvassing for ECA, and the state governors shunned the idea since most of them are there to loot the treasury till they drop, it was for such a time as this. No one commended her then, now that it has backfired in our faces, we cry foul. Mr. Adams Oshiomole please act responsibly and maturely rather than trading blames and sulking. You and your fellow governors wrecked the economy and not Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.
Correct. They very dumb including the governor whose mother and cousin painted Nigeria women black in his new laughable marriage.
Oshomole, I’m disappointed in you. I’m surprised that you of all people would come out and talk. I knew how you rose to power. You started as if you heard the struggle of the poor in mind. Now you act as talk against truth and justice. If you would come out to condemn the truth that madam iweala said about the ECA account then you have lost all sense of standing for what is true and just.
It’s so disheartening to see such negative attitude people show to one of the best finance ministers Nigeria has heard in recent years. Why do people derive pleasure in character assassination like this? Mr. Oshiomole, you have no right whatsoever to heap such false claims on Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. What good have you brought to Edo State since you assumed office? Edo State airport is about the worst and crude in Nigeria. You better roll up your sleeves and do better for the few months you have left in office, else you’ll be surprised when you get impeached.
Leadership doesn’t just put blames on people, but takes responsibility. Oshomole you are trying to shift the blame on one person and you know that is entirely wrong. Okonjo Iweala is not responsibility for the present state of the economy and you know it. God will help you to say the truth and not just be partisan.

Oshomole are you trying to scare the innocent from politics. Remember people voted you into power because of your struggle for truth and justice. Okonjo Iweala stands for the same cause. Don’t persecute her now because you belong to APC. That doesn’t speak well for our democracy.
Oshomole, what are you doing? Are you being truthful or playing partisan? Say the truth for the interest and development of our country. This is not fair on a woman that has only given her best to Nigeria.
Why are this so called bloggers using insultive words on their elders Be reminded as yu insult the elders So yu will be insulted by yr younger ones physically and ve beryl as yu grow old Concerned person
We should always draw the line between constructive criticism for the interest of our country and destructive criticism for our own selfish interest. Nigeria is this way because people refuse to say the truth. Okonjo Iweala was courageous enough to bring to the knowledge of the public how states governors ruined the economy. They were the cause and not Okonjo Iweala.
See pot calling kettle black o. Oshiomole lost his credibility since he turned his back on the same Nigerians who saw to his coming in as the executive governor of Edo State when his mandate was earlier stolen by PDP through Prof. Osunbor. Now he has the effrontery to accuse one of the people who stood for him then. What a shame.
Pls free Oshimole. He did not call Ngozi a thief or acuse her of anything. He only asked a simple question. He said; has this false claims just started now or a long time ago? and u people are just insulting him anyhow for asking a simple question. Point of Correction: Oshiomole only asked the federal govt to resolve the issue before NLC can call off d strike. He didnt say fuel subsidy should be removed or should not be removed. He was only protecting the masses because he didnt want an increase in fuel price. However d govt wants to solve d problem is their business. As long as the poor average man can afford to buy fuel and feed his family. So dont insult him. He was only protecting u and i.
Oshiomole has no moral justification to accuse Dr. Mrs. Okonjo Iweala of mismanaging the economy. Please if I may ask, what positive change has he brought to Edo State since he assumed office as the executive governor? I just wonder why people are fond of criticising others who are busy effecting positive change while they sit docile idling way.
So somebody cannot air his views again in this democratic era? Each time somebody speaks, u say he wants to earn cheap attention. You are so dumb because Oshiomole is a governor and already a celebrity. So which cheap attention is he looking for again?. Oshiomole just said the bitter truth. Deal with it and get over it

Some poeple are just arguing blindly like educated illiterates here. Oshiomole protested against the increase in fuel price. He did not protest against the removal of fuel subsidy. Dont get it twisted and mixed up. He protested because he didnt want the end user which is you and i (the masses) to suffer the huge increase in fuel price. If the government decides to remove or put the subsidy, it non of Oshiomole or NLC's business. As far as he was concerned then was the masses should not suffer the increase in fuel. Empty brains hope u get my point??
The whole country went on riot because of increase in fuel price. They didn't go on riot because they wanted the fuel subsidy to be put back. However the government was going to solve the issue was not the country's business. Whether they remove the fuel subsidy or not was not their business. Their concern then was that the fuel price must not be increased. Period. So Nigerians don't get it twisted. Reason with your brain instead of reasoning with your anus
To answer the idiot that said Oshiomole has not made any positive change in Edo State, u're are senseless for saying that. Oshiomole has repaired many roads in Edo State just like fashola, Oshiomole has improved both education facilities and health care which is still ongoing. However, Osunbor, the governor that rigged elections did not leave any money for him to run with and because Jonathan is PDP and Oshiomole is APC. Federal govt never supported Edo State financially. Oshiomole used taxes to improvice. So Oshiomole has tried for Edo State and is still trying. Dont say what u dont know.
Oshio is trying so hard to impress that small girl wey eim dey marry. All his public utterances now na because fortes. Oshio wants the girl to say daddy, I'm proud of u today. All na shakara!
Thank you for the clarification.
This was oshiomole that was very poor before becoming governor, he's now so filthy rich that his mom no longer wanted him to marry a nigerian lady because of the vastness of his riches. How did he acquire all that wealth if not from the commonwealth. He can now afford a trophy wife. A comrade stealing from the public coffers. Shame on you, Oshio. I'm not one of those you will deceive with your kahki 'activism'.
