APC on Point Amaechi got N257bn from ECA account
The Minister
of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, come strong on Amaechi when she was asked to
account for $20 billion from the Excess Crude Account ECA.
The Governor’s
forum has asked the Minister of finance to account for $20 billion from the
excess crude account and she said, she has no account to give because, every
month details of ECA is being published.
Her spokesman
Paul Nwabuikwu said “Rivers received N257.6
billion from the Federation Account between January and October 2013… the
statement by the governors is totally strange because Federal Accounts Allocation
Committee FAAC meets every month and the ECA is
discussed at every session with all the state commissioners of finance present”
The minister Okonjp-Iweala said it is Ameachi who read the communiqué of the governors
early Tuesday and made unsubstantiated claims that N5billion was missing in
2013.
Thus the
minister of finance in the spirit of transparency and accountability will
published the statement ECA accounts for the past four years in details.
