Nigerian governors forum under the leadership of Governor Rotimi Amaechi have
demanded the resignation of the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,
accusing her of failing in her responsibility as the economy of Nigeria is getting
worse by the day under her watch.
“Members expressed concern in the management of the economy by the
Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy and called
for a strict adherence to the Appropriation Act, 2013, failing which she
should resign."
It is unfortunate that President Goodluck Jonathan doesn't really know much
about economy hence he takes anything the woman tells him without questions.
The governors’ decision was contained in a statement after a meeting of the
Governors Forum. The Tuesday meeting took place at the Rivers State Governor’s
Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja.
Amaechi, who read the statement at the end of the three-hour meeting, drew
attention to the non-compliance with the revenue projection of the Federal
Government of Nigeria 2013 budget, blaming Ms. Okonjo-Iweala for her poor
management of the economy.
The NGF stated that the non-compliance was a direct breach of the appropriations
act of 2013.
Ms. Okonjo-Iweala, they insisted, should strictly adhere to the Appropriations Act
of 2013. They stated that the minister should resign if she knows she can't meet
up with the expectations of Nigeria.
In addition, the governors once again called on the National Assembly to legislate
the separation of the office of the Accountant General of the Federation from that
of the ministry of finance for better accountability and management of the
economy.
