Arrest Okonjo-Iweala Immediately - Oshiomhole Advises Buhari

 

Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole has called on the Presidency to arrest and prosecute former minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, over her alleged role in the $2bil­lion arms deal.

Daily Post reports that the governor also advised the Federal Government to punish anyone who was involved in the arms deal purchase under the administration of former Presi­dent Goodluck Jonathan.

The governor insisted that there was no way Okonjo-Iweala was not in the know as the Coordinating Minister for the Economy under Jonathan.
 

Oshiomhole, who met behind closed-doors with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Wednesday told State House correspondents on his way out that the gov­ernment could not afford to be selective in the probe because, in criminal law, all those involved must be charged for conspiracy.

The Edo governor insisted that Okonjo-Iweala, could not coordinate a corrupt-ridden economy and pretend to be an angel.
