Minister of Aviation seeks audience with the President over cars controvery


Apparently the minister of aviation. Madam Stella is in a lot of trouble over the alleged N255m cars she recently acquired.

Culled from PUNCH:

It learnt on Sunday that she  had  used the last few days seeking  private audience with  President Goodluck Jonathan.

On Friday for instance, she  was sighted at the Presidential Villa in Abuja as calls by groups for her removal over  the purchase of two BMW bulletproof cars for her by the Nigerian Civil Aviation authority heightened.

The NCAA spent   a whopping $1.6m(N225m) on the two cars which market value is N36m each.

A  very reliable Presidency source, who disclosed Oduah’s visit to the Villa, said she “wanted to explain herself to the President, who like every Nigerian, was embarrassed by the media reports and the evidence of the purchase of the two cars at an outrageous sum of N225m.”


The source said, “She was here (Villa) on Friday but like you know, Mr. President was busy throughout the weekend.”

When asked if Oduah  eventually saw Jonathan, he replied,  “I cannot tell for sure if the minister who looked worried saw him or not.”

However, the source dismissed speculations that Oduah, who is to appear before the Senate this week over the crisis facing the Aviation industry,  was at the Villa to beg the President to prevent possible sanctions.

He stated that should  she  decide to beg, she would  most likely reach out to highly placed Nigerians who have  the ears of the President.
