These are not the best of times for the Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala even as she and her family continues continue the search for their kidnapped mother.
For failing to appear before it twice, the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions, on Thursday, threatened to order the arrest of the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and the Group Managing Director of Access Bank Plc, Mr. Aigboje Imokhuede.
The committee, which is headed by Hon. Uzo Azubuike, said the two were needed to help resolve the N20bn fuel subsidy dispute between the Chairman of Coscharis Motors Limited, Mr. Cosmas Maduka, and the Managing Director of Capital Oil, Mr. Ifeanyi Uba.
The committee had postponed sitting last week to Thursday due to the absence of the minister and the Access Bank GMD. But on Thursday, Azubuike was angry that they “shunned” the committee again.
Hon Azubuike warned that if a representative was not sent to the next sitting of the committee, a warrant of arrest would be issued.
The investigation will continue next week.
