MEDIA Adviser to the immediate past Minister of Finance, Paul C. Nwabuikwu, has described as total ‘falsehood’, the claim by an online news media, Saharareporters.com that Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala handed over a “dossier of corrupt deals” perpetrated by the Goodluck Jonathan-led administration to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Nwabuikwu, in a reaction to Saharareporters’ publication, which was also used by other news media, confirmed that the report was a sponsored attempt to discredit Okonjo-Iweala’s good works while in office.
According to Nwabuikwu, “the recent report by the integrity-challenged website, Saharareporters and some other media that former Minister of Finance, Dr Okonjo-Iweala has handed over a “dossier of corrupt deals” perpetrated by the Jonathan-led 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.
