Former World Bank Vice President for Africa and former Education Minister, Mrs. Obiageli Ezekwesili has descended on Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for accusing her of peddling false information over Nigeria’s foreign reserve.
Ezekwesili had alleged that $67 Billion left by the President Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime has been squandered by the Government of late President Musa Yar’Adua and President Goodluck Jonathan.
Jonathan’s government fired back, insisting that what was left by the Obasanjo’s regime was $45 Billion and not $67 Billion. The Government tendered a CBN document at a Press conference by Dr. Doyin Okupe which showed that $45 Billion was what was left behind by President Obasanjo’s government.
The former Education Minister who has since resigned from her World Bank job requested to have a debate with officials in Government.
But Dr. Iweala at the Future Awards Symposium said “We should stop having false debates based on wrong or no information. Sometimes, I think it’s deliberate.”
Pointblanknews.com gathered that the latest attack from Ezekwesili who was nominated by Dr. Iweala to the World Bank job even when she does not have a PHD, a requirement for the World Bank job, has signaled a crack in their relationship.
Series of tweets released by the former World Bank VP for Africa, and minister of education, Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili claimed that, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who is the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and a former World Bank Managing Director subbed her
Ezekwesili released series of tweets where she attacked at her former colleague and friend.
She challenged Iweala to a public debate.
