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.
Report by Punch
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.
