Stella Oduah, is currently fighting with both teeth and tongue in
order to save her job.
It was learnt that the troubled Minister within the last days had been
seeking private audience with President Goodluck Jonathan for one on
one chat over the ongoing crisis in the aviation sector.
Sources said that Miss Oduah was spotted at the Presidential Villa in
Abuja during the weekend looking so troubled and shattered, following
the calls by Nigerians for her immediate removal over the acquisition
of two BMW bulletproof cars for her official use.
A close insider who was present during Oduah's visit to the Villa,
told Punch that she "wanted to explain herself to the President, who
like every Nigerian, was embarrassed by the media reports and the
evidence of the purchase of the two cars at an outrageous sum of
N255m."
The source added that, "She was here (Villa) on Friday but like you
know, Mr. President was busy throughout the weekend."
Asked if Oduah eventually saw Mr. president, the source said, "I
cannot tell for sure if the Minister who looked worried saw him or
not."
Contrary to media reports that Oduah would appear before the Senate
this week for questioning, the source said it was not true, noting
that the Minister only came to the Villa to beg the president and
others to help save her job.
