Believe it or not, President Goodluck Jonathan and alleged corrupt Nigeria’s aviation minister, Stella Oduah have embarked on a trip to Israel.
According to sources, the BMW madam followed the President to escape the current bribery and corruption scandal rocking her office.
We learnt Stella Oduah travelled to Israel alongsides the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria on Tuesday October 23rd, 2013 in order to sign the Bilateral Air Services Agreement,BASA, with the Jewish state.
Prominent Nigerians find her unannounced travel outside of the country very annoying. They were angry that a woman who is supposed to be under probe could be permitted to travel out of the country along with a President who had just questioned her stand on the bribery scandal.
Nigeria is gradually turning into a banana republic
Hear what the President of Women Arise said about Stella Oduah’s trip to Israel:
“It is highly condemnable and it shows how insensitive the minister is. At a time when she should be sober and when she should be explaining herself to the Nigerian people, she has decided to throw caution to the wind by travelling to Israel. It shows the arrogance of our public office holders,” she said.
“We want to sound a note of warning that Nigeria is being turned into a banana republic and we may need to go back to the trenches. We warn the probe committee to do a painstaking job.”
The wife of late Human right activist, Gani Fawehinmi also lent her voice:
“It is shocking that she could be allowed to travel with the president at this time and it is only in Nigeria that such a thing can happen,”
“By now, she should have been dismissed because all fingers are pointing at her and she has not come out to deny it,” Mrs. Fawehinmi said.
Do you think President Jonathan made the right decision for allowing her to follow him to Israel?
