You need to know WHY
The
Ministry of Aviation has explained why it is yet to return the N255m BMW
bullet-proof cars purchased by former Minister, Stella Oduah to Coscharis
motors as directed by the House Committee on Aviation.
According to the Supervising Minister of Aviation, Samuel
Ortom, the Ministry is trying to follow due process before it would release the
cars.
Ortom, who appeared before members of the Mrs Nkiruka
Onyejiocha-led committee yesterday, said that President Goodluck Jonathan and
other stakeholders have the final say on the controversial cars.
Addressing newsmen at the Assembly complex yesterday, Ortom
said, “Before we comply, we have to carry the President and other stakeholders
along.
“We cannot just carry the bullet-proof cars and dump them at
Coscharis. There are documents to be filled, there are processes to follow.
“As soon as we complete the arrangements, we will take the
cars back. Due process needed to be adequately followed in matters of this
nature.”
Recall that the House last year indicted Oduah for
purchasing two armoured cars worth N255 million, a development that result into
heated controversy nationwide, and may have been responsible for Oduah’s sack
as Aviation Minister.
