As Nigeria and Israel get set to sign a Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA), there were indications, last night, that President Goodluck Jonathan may not allow the embattled Aviation Minister, Princess Stella Oduah, to take part in the symbolic event slated for Tel Aviv tomorrow.
Presidency sources hinted that although Oduah left Nigeria to prepare the ground for the event, Jonathan was uncomfortable with her presence in Israel and might bar her from the spot.
Competent Presidency sources said the president was uncomfortable with the public outrage arising from the N25 million armoured vehicles said to have been bought for Oduah by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and would not want to be seen as condoning corruption with the embattled minister on his side.
