Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has replied the Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, after she denied that the Federal Government printed N60 billion in March to support allocation to states.
Obaseki in a series of tweets on Thursday said he believes it is statutory to offer useful advice for the benefit of the nation and called on the Federal Government to end ‘monetary rascality.’ He said, “While we do not want to join issues with the Federal Ministry of Finance, we believe it is our duty to offer useful advice for the benefit of our country.
“The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, should rally Nigerians to stem the obvious fiscal slide facing our country. “Rather than play the Ostrich, we urge the government to take urgent steps to end the current monetary rascality, so as to prevent the prevailing economic challenge from degenerating further.“We believe it is imperative to approach the Nigerian project with all sense of responsibility and commitment and not play to the gallery because ultimately, time shall be the judge of us all.”
GovernorObaseki is an economist and investment banker, while ZShamsuna is an accountant. Who do you think is telling Nigerians the truth? Would Nigerians ever trust any of our leaders?
Channels TV and their weak journalism. Where's the investigate report on this? Abi they're scared of the backlash from Liar Mohammed, Garba, palm wine Laureta and co. Smh
.....effects of what the govt did.
Obaseki is well informed about the activities of the govt. Mind u, all governors are members of NEC where critical decisions are taken and this body is the highest in Naija. Other governors know but decide to keep quiet and mind u, Obaseki is financial expert and knows the.....
Who is to believe, those in govt never tell the people the truth.
Funny defunct Nitel olodo deputy manager, now Nigerian finance minister,is just sickening. Another,olodo account clerk, is AGF. These, pple loves occupying without needed quality 2 progressively drive d system. And,it's so worrisome that dy know & realize it, but,won't back down!
But could have done their investigation to find out the truth now as I believe both the amount shared and the income from which it was shared are public documents. How do we move forward with this kind of journalism
Obaseki did you lie or not?
This is how to confront abnormalities in a failed nation. Even though been a part of it. This is what Osibanjo has failed to do.... Confronting the failed government he is part of.
What good is he doing in Edo State?
‘monetary rascality' Interesting, yet he collected his share.
Ahhh
She is another tool as Kemi Adeosun.
too many lies in this government that we don't know which of their agencies or ministry to believe
Na rascals now. all this pple weh get dat black logo for forehead fear dem The wicked die 😂😂
Nigeria’s finance minister is INCOMPETENT and not qualified to be a Minister, boro boro minister.
ZShamsuna Stop playing the ostrich,tell us the amount that was printed cos we know that APC lies a lot & there's no smoke without fire. APC has led Nigeria to the brink 2 d extent that kidnappers now include food stuffs in ransom payment. A bag of beans was 9k b4 is now 56k.
GovernorObaseki is telling the truth and the FG isn't happy with him.
Guy is really on something. Chasing clout ain't gonna change anything in Edo.
What does monetary rascality means?
5 of this kind of governor in Nigeria is enough to change the country.
