Joda, who spoke to journalists in Yola, Adamawa state, on Tuesday, said that she covered herself well by always seeking for the approval of former President Goodluck Jonathan for every release.
According to him, it was probable that Okonjo-Iweala knew of the shady activities going on.
He however expressed the worry that despite her knowing of possible corruption going n during the past administration she did not resign rather presided over fraudulent withdrawals from the economy.

“Okonjo-Iweala is a professional and she guarded herself. Whenever, they said this happened, she was able to produce papers to say, ‘Look, we had a meeting presided over by the president and attended by the national security adviser and others.
“And she would go back and write the president and say, ‘I have received a request to release so many billions in accordance with our minutes. Your Excellency, if you will approve.’ And His Excellency would approve it. So, she covered herself, thus you can’t pin anything on her,” Joda said.
