This just goes to show the looting of our collective wealth by those
either by commission or appointment we allowed to run our national
affairs. All they do is come to a sort of agreement on how to loot the
treasury, legalizing it without the public knowledge. Because they know
it is immoral, inappropriate and it is thievery, and there
will be an equal measure of public condemnation. No wonder, the first
action the FG should took on this matter was to go after looking for who
leaked the information, where they looking for the informant to
congratulate him/her? Obviously no.
Once again, Nigerians has been raped and disheartened without no hope of justice. Another saga we have watched haplessly. Someone has scandalously squandered our collective resources, but she is as free as the birds of the air. Oh yes, she is very very free legally. As admitted by the committee when Ms Odauh, stated her ministry has not done anything wrong. Relying her claim on the approval of her ministry's monetary allocation by the national assembly.
According to the minister and what she is making Nigerians to understand is that the $1.6m used for the purchase of the two cars were appropriated by the national assembly, the only problem was that the Nigerian people are not suppose to know that their whooping $1.6m will be used to purchase just two armoured cars for their aviation minister and her dignified visitors? And the national assembly knows this, that's why during the hearing they (NASS committee on the scandal) tactically avoided questions that would have indicted the minister neck deep into the scandal. Why would a minister just said her name was not mentioned in the deal and the committee just conclude? Who authorize the operation? Is the committee expecting to believe the DG can do that without her approval? Who defended the ministry's budget before the National assembly?
Off course, the outcome would have boomerang on the committee had it been they asked those vital question, just as the case of Oteh and Hembe. Madam Odauh wouldn't want go down alone, she would reminded the committee members how some of the money they are questioning her of also got its way into their pockets, and none of them wants to remember the face of Hembe when Oteh threw him the sledge hammer.
This is another probe that has shown in every direct or indirect looting of our national treasury from public office holders, the national assembly are all involved. The Oteh, Madueke, Farouk and now Odauh saga, have all come to nothing, none lost their job less being jailed, but money were recorded misappropriated (stolen).
We are fighting CORRUPTION.
