The Bilateral Air Services Agreement is supposed to be signed by
Nigeria's Minister of Aviation but when it happened a few days ago in
Israel, it wasn't Stella Oduah that signed it. In a move to show that he
is serious about probing Ms Oduah over the N225m bulletproof cars
bought for her by the Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority, President Jonathan asked the Minister of State I,
Foreign Affairs, Prof. Viola Onwuliri, to sign the agreement on behalf
of
the Federal Government. (Pictured above).
Thing is, BASA has nothing to do with the
Foreign Affairs Ministry. The other thing is, Stella Oduah was present
at the signing...but she sat with other Nigerian delegates as an
observer.
While explaining why she joined Pres. Jonathan's delegation to Israel
last week, her special adviser on media,
Mr. Joe Obi, said it was to sign the BASA. President Jonathan decided at
the last minute to keep her from signing on behalf of the Federal
Government of Nigeria. See a pic of Stella Oduah at the BASA signing
after the cut...
