| Mrs Stella Oduah and President Goodluck Jonathan |
Birthday boy, President Goodluck Jonathan is seriously under
severe pressure to spare the embattled Minister of Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah,
over her role in the purchase of the two infamous bulletproof BMW cars by the
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, this SHOWBIZPLUS can authoritatively reveal.
The people that are asking Jonathan to save the neck of Oduah
were said to be telling the President not to mind the report of the
administrative panel he set up to investigate the minister’s role in the
controversial N255m luxury cars.
The panel headed by a former Head of the Civil Service of the
Federation, Alhaji Isa Bello, had submitted its report to Jonathan since last
Wednesday, but the President has not said anything about its content.
A source told our correspondent that a top government official
from the South-East, the same geopolitical zone with the embattled minister, is
currently in the forefront of the campaign to save her.
The source however did not disclose the identities of those who
have been enlisted in the campaign.
He said that part of the campaign agenda had started manifesting
in a section of the media where the content of the panel’s report was being
speculated with a view to giving the minister an edge.
The delay in making pronouncement on the report is being seen as
a way of buying time for the minister.
Critics at the onset had said the probe panel by Jonathan was
set up to divert attention from the armoured car purchase and to also cover up
the minister.
