President
Goodluck Jonathan seems to have accepted the explanation given by the
Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah over the N225M BMW cars as she has
jetted out of the country with the President.
The
embattled minister of aviation jetted out of Nigeria to Israel on
Tuesday with President Goodluck Jonathan to sign the Bilateral Air
Services Agreement, BASA, with the Jewish state.
Many
prominent Nigerians who spoke on the issue said they were outraged that
a minister under such a monumental financial scam could be allowed to
travel out of the country along with a president who had just queried
her.
They said Nigeria seems to be turning into a banana republic.
According to activist Joe Okei-Odumakin, President, Women Arise, Oduah’s trip to Israel is condemnable and offensive.
Ganiat Fawehinmi, wife of the late human rights crusader, Gani Fawehinmi, said she is scandalized at Oduah’s trip with Jonathan.
To
Debo Adeniran, Chairman Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL,
Oduah’s trip shows that Jonathan is not serious about fighting
corruption.
