She has various inquiries to reply as for the administration of our aggregate patrimony."

"She [Okonjo-Iweala] ought to be embarrassed to try and express that she denied Edo individuals foundation credit, when she couldn't recover what was because of the state. Would there have been requirement for credit demand on the off chance that she was genuinely in firm control of the economy under her supervision?"

"Those associations which have been attempting to dash her grants must as an issue strategy complete due determination to appropriately score her, else, one would have reason to suspect that such recompenses may have been acquired. Anybody giving her honor will be doing Nigeria and Nigerians an awesome damage even with on-going examinations and disclosures that have uncovered the spoiled underbelly of the Okonjo-Iweala years."
