After scoring the administration of President
Goodluck Jonathan an “F” on economic management, and asking on what basis the
president wants citizens to re-elect him again, Minister of Finance, Ngozi
Okonjo- Iweala has come for former CBN Governor, Chukwuma Soludo for his
statements.
Okonjo-Iweala through her Special adviser
on Media, Paul Nwabuikwu, accused Mr. Soludo of single-handedly mismanaging the
country’s banking sector between May 2004 and May 2009 which plunged the
country into “an incredible accumulation of liabilities that will cost tax
payers about N5.67 trillion”.

She described the former CBN governor as
“an embittered loser in the Nigerian political space” who is “so derailed” to
“commit intellectual harakiri by deliberately misquoting economic facts and
maliciously turning statistics on their head to justify a hatchet job”.

“Soludo has shamelessly pandered to so many
past leaders that Nigerians are asking one more time – what position is Soludo
gunning for now?” she asked.

“There is definitely an issue of character
with Prof. Charles Soludo and his desperate search for power and relevance in
Nigeria. Nigerians should therefore beware of so-called intellectuals without
character and wisdom because this combination is fatal,” she added.
