Oduah’s Comment On The Recommendation To Sack Her Left Journalist Bewildered

The Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, said she would not resign. She expressed her position on Tuesday, while inspected remodelled facilities at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

When a journalist asked Oduah if she would resign following lawmakers’ recommendations to President Goodluck Jonathan, the Minister replied:

“I think it means you don’t read or you probably don’t understand English because I read it too. What is there is that Mr. President can and should review. That is what they said there. Probably, you should go back to school.”

Oduah’s statement left a mammoth of journalists who had thronged the airport bewildered.

From Minister’s point of view, the lawmakers had neither indicted her nor called on President Goodluck Jonathan to sack her. Rather, she said, the House of Representatives recommended the presidency to review some of the issues in the aviation sector.

To recall, last Thursday the House of Representatives endorsed the report of its Committee on Aviation, which had indicted Oduah over the purchase of two armoured BMW of N255 million.

The report concluded that for approving cars that were not budgeted for in 2013 and for an amount far above the approval limit of the ministry, Oduah had broken the law.

The House, therefore, asked Jonathan to decide whether Stella Oduah should continue to retain her services as a minister.

The endorsement of the report by the House elicited a prompt response from Oduah, who described the action as premeditated and with a hidden agenda.

“We are shocked and disappointed that in spite of the deluge of representations and evidences provided by the Aviation Minister, Princess Stella Adaeze Oduah and all invited stakeholders on the matter, the House would reach conclusions that have only confirmed that there was a hidden Agenda in the entire exercise from the beginning,” said Joe Obi,Odua’s spokesperson.

Speaking on the remodelled airport, Oduah assured that the airport would be commissioned before the end of first quarter of 2014.

  1. The Aviation minister.Oduah is a true reflection of the public servants of today,and reflection of her level of Civilization. In countries governed by civilised persons whose conscience are Nurtured by the truth; Oduah won’t wait for anybody to show her the exit. She is not a fit and proper person to send our journalists back to school, instead, she should go back to the school of Conscience. Another test case for my Presiden. Testing whether he is honestly fighting Corruption or NOT. O God, give us a government of God-fearingp. PEOPLE. And destroy all His enemies in power .
