The
All Progressives Congress has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of
shielding the Aviation Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah, in the N255m
bulletproof car scandal rocking the ministry.
Comments:
Multiclique: Why do we
have the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Independent
Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission and the Special
Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police Force? Why set up an administrative
panel to investigate fraud if it isn’t aimed at covering up tracks and
loopholes? If the man GEJ is sincere, he should have called in all these
anti-corruption agencies to investigate the matter independently.
Babalai: So true. If
Jonathan had plans to fight financial crimes and eradicate corruption,
he would have done a lot of things differently, such as suspending the
aviation minister with the brazen evidence in public domain while the
probe is still ongoing. He would not have offered presidential pardon to
a convicted thief.
Bodmas: It is a shame
of the highest order, considering the way the President is handling the
Oduahgate scandal. It is quite evident that Oduah approved a sum above
the N100m limit provided for in the constitution. Ordinarily, there is
no need for setting up a committee. She should have been arraigned in a
court of competent jurisdiction to answer for the charges once and for
all. But everyone knows that our President likes to form needless
committees here and there.
