There is a difference between the Economic Management Team set up for the 1st time ever in 2003 by President Obasanjo and the National Economic Council established by the 1999 Constitution as amended; Section 153(1) and Paragraphs 18 & 19 of Part I of the Third Schedule.
Thread.
The Presidential Economic Management Team
(we called it “The Economic Team” for brevity) was a Technical Team of 12 persons from a range of expertise whom President Obasanjo constituted to drive Nigeria’s Economic Reform Agenda during his 2nd Term in office 2003-2007.
In constituting the Economic Team, we designed it @ two levels of Leadership:
1. Political Leadership: The President Olusegun Obasanjo
2. Technical Leadership: The Minister of Finance, Dr Okonjo-Iweala.
Our Team also had Thematic Issues Lead, e.g. I was for Good Governance.
I love You, Lord
For Your mercy never fails me
All my days, I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In the darkest night
You are close like no other
I've known You as a Father
I've known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God .
In that singular act of siding with his Minister of Communication, @NGRPresident@MBuhari actually conveyed a message on his view of terrorism. Nigerians now know that his views align with that of his Minister.
It is now left to Nigerians to convey whether we agree with them✍🏾
I do not agree with @NGRPresident@MBuhari and his Minister of Communication that any citizen can get away with such bloodcurdling rhetorics the latter made through the years. Worse that one who swore an oath to public office said and did the things @NigeriaGov has waved off.
Yesterday’s action by our President was an anti-climax. He has persisted in badly managing our country’s diversity.
Nigeria cannot at this stage avoid a genuine conversation about its Future.
The signs are all too obvious for all to see and act on.
As a Believer, one of the greatest tests of my life is granting real forgiveness to all those who because of Politics twisted my deep agony and agitation for rescue of ChibokGirls into all forms of wicked accusations I have had to bear since 2014. And yet I must.
In this 2018 tweet, I was recounting how the @BBCAfrica handle broke the news of the abduction of ChibokGirls on the 15th and my immediate reaction was to ask them if the news was “verified”.
I mean, it was hard to imagine hundreds of schoolchildren being abducted. It was hard.
My follow-on tweet after asking @BBCAfrica if their breaking news on the abduction was verified is captured below. It sank in my mind that it was BBC News and that by the quality control standards, it was near impossible to break unverified news. Ah. My eyes rolled down tears.
And we're standing here
Only because You made a way

Don't know how but You did it
Made a way

Made a way
Don't know how but You did it
Don't know how but You did it

Cause You move mountains
You move mountains

And You cause walls to fall
You cause walls to fall
You cause walls to fall
