Embattled Minister of Aviation, Mrs Stella Oduah, was on Wednesday
conspicuously absent at the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting
held at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Oduah
is currently in the eye of the storm over the purchase of two
bulletproof cars for her by the Nigerians Civil Aviation Authority. The
vehicles are valued at a whopping $1.6m (about N225m).
Many stakeholders had been calling for her sack or resignation while the Presidency had so far kept mum on the matter. State
House correspondents who had resolved to take up the matter with the
minister before or after the FEC meeting were disappointed as she failed
to show up at the time the meeting started a few
minutes after 10am.
