SOCKING: Aviation minister Stella Oduah resigns

Stella Oduah, Nigeria’s powerful minister of aviation has quit President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet.
Her resignation was announced today after the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
There was no official reason given for the resignation, which followed corruption scandals and certificate racketeering involving her.
The woman had defied the gravity of the allegations, including her indictment by a House of Representatives Committee, that she bought, without lawful approval, two armored BMW cars at grossly inflated price of N255million from Coscharis Motors. She was also accused of lying about having a masters degree in Business administration which she never had.
The other ministers that also resigned are Elder Godsday Orubebe, the Minister of the Niger Delta, Caleb Olubolade, the Minister of Police Affairs and the Minister of State For Finance, Yerima Ngama.
The three ministers are said to be interested in contesting for the governorship positions in their home states of Delta, Ekiti, and Yobe respectively.

He said that Buhari was head and shoulder above Jonathan. He said, “Putting Buhari and President Jonathan side by side is like putting light and darkness together. Buhari is head and shoulder above Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who is occupying the nation’s highest seat. “It is Nigerians who will determine who will win the 2015 election, but we know that in a free and fair election, Jonathan does not stand a chance against Buhari.
