President Goodluck Jonathan
has relieved four Ministers of their duties, as was announced at the
Federal Executive Council meeting.
More..
The relieved Ministers are Stella
Oduah (Aviation), Caleb Olubolade (Police Affairs), Godsday Orubebe
(Niger Delta Police Affairs), and Yerima Ngama (State, Finance).
Some sources within Jonathan’s
cabinet indicate that the said lawmakers were "dropped, they did not
resign," while others say their sack was passed off as voluntary
resignation.
The reasons behind Olubolade, Orubebe and Ngama's exit are also yet to be specified.
However, Stella Oduah's case is
related to corruption-related offences. It will be recalled that both
the House of Representatives and a presidential committee indicted her
for approving purchase of two bullet-proof cars for N255m.
Investigations have also revealed that Oduah has forged her academic
qualifications. This has caused public outrage in the country, with many
Nigerians calling for her removal and prosecution.
