[abujagirl]

Nigeria's embattled aviation minister, Princess Stella Oduah and 3 other Federal Ministers have resigned their appointment.

The three other Ministers who resigned alongside Oduah are; Godsday Orubebe(Niger Delta) , Caleb Olubolade (Police Affairs) and Yerima Ngama (State, Finance).

Announcing the development to newsmen in Abuja after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, minister of information, Labaran Maku said the ministers had been asked to step out of the Federal Executive council to pursue their political and economic interests.

Maku added that the President had also announced further changes in the Federal Executive Council- the Minister of State for FCT, Ms Olajumoke Akinjide as Supervising Minister of Police Affairs and the Minister of State for Trade and Investment, Mr Samuel Ortom as Supervising Minister of Aviation.

President Jonathan also directed the Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs, Mr Darius Ishaku to take charge as Supervising Minister of the Ministry, while the Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo -Iweala should take charge of the functions of the Minister of State for Finance.

He'd also seized the opportunity to correct the erroneous report in the media that the former Chief of Staff to the President, Chief Mike Oghiadhome, was sacked by the President because of alleged involvement in purported scam in the NNPC.

Maku said the report was false and misleading, adding that Oghiadhome resigned his appointment to pursue further interest in politics.

Any of the two is acceptable. D koko is that she left the office.

People like that should be flushed out of the system.

What baffles me is why now?

Certainly Jonathan didn't ask her to resign.

Obasanjo probably did.

Obasanjo probably did.

I think Jonathan did and he is cleaning house before announcing declaration. So first were the service chiefs etc, then Tukur and also he has convinced most of the PDP politicians to join APC

That's a nice theory. Sadly, only GEJ can prove it right or wrong.
