Media aide to the former minister of finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, has slammed reports by SaharaReporters that the former minister gave a 'dossier of Corrupt Deals' to President Buhari
According to Paul C Nwabuikwu, the Media Adviser to the former minister of finance, Dr Okonjo-Iweala.
“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,” he concluded.
The former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been under fire since the end of the last political dispensation. This is not unconnected to her role as the coordinating minister of economy under President Goodluck Jonathan.
