According to a report by Punch, the committee set up by President Jonathan to probe the
N255m bulletproof car scandal in the aviation ministry has indicted Aviation
Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah.
It was gathered in Abuja on Sunday that the report of
the presidential committee tallied with some findings of the House of
Representatives Committee on Aviation on the scandal. On December 19,
2013, the House endorsed the report of its committee and agreed that the
minister breached the 2013 Appropriation Act.
It was learnt on Sunday that the panel, like that of
the House, also discovered that the minister’s approval for the cars exceeded
the N100m limit.
A top government source, who disclosed this to Punch on Sunday, said although the committee
indicted Oduah , it did not say whether she should be sacked or not.
But sources told Punch that there was
every likelihood of the President using the cabinet shake -up that would follow
the presentation of his ministerial list to the National Assembly to relieve
himself of Oduah’s continued presence in his government.
