Aondoakaa, Akunyili clash over Yar’Adua
By Yusuf Alli Published Today News Rating: Unrated

Prof Dora Akunyili
Ministers are poised for a showdown over Prof. Dora Akunyili’s memo for President Umaru Yar’Adua to hand over to Vice President Goodluck Jonathan.

A taste of what to expect at Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting emerged yesterday, with Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Michael Aondoakaa (SAN) accusing the Information and Communication Minister of "trying to make herself an angel and a cheap hero".

But Mrs Akunyili vowed not to succumb to "cheap blackmail", cautioning that "those who live in glass houses should not throw stones".

Mrs Akunyili’s memo is prejudicial and subjudice because there is a case before the Court of Appeal on the issue, Aondoakaa said.

The Minister described Mrs Akunyili as a self-seeking office holder who wants to make herself a cheap hero.

Aondoakaa said: "Well, first, she did not understand the constitution and she is not following events in the country. I think she was just trying to make herself a cheap hero out of that. If you see what the Senate said, the Senate made an appeal. She does not need the FEC to make an appeal; she can also make her appeal.

"The Senate said it was appealing. You saw the spokesman of the Senate eventually came out and said they have no power to compel the man. Now, there is even a court decision that says that transmission of letter shall be voluntary. It is within the President.

"Bringing the memo to the FEC is just to make herself an angel. She wants to be seen as a populist. Whatever she wants to gain from it is still personal. None of the FEC members has disrespect for the Vice-President. As far as we are concerned, the VP is our leader and he is leading us. What she is trying to do is self-seeking; let her go and confront herself with what happened in NAFDAC.

"We are working as a team and the AGF is there. You cannot just come out as an island and take a decision and try to rock the boat without even consulting your colleagues. Just because the next day the press will bring you out and make you a hero and others as villains.

"But you will discover that out of the ministers, others are working assiduously to make the VP have full presidential powers without talking to anybody. In fact the public does not know that they are the ones working to make the VP assume full powers to carry the country forward. They don’t go to pages of the papers to talk but they are working tirelessly to make sure that this thing works and the country moves forward."

Akunyili warned that those castigating her to first examine themselves.

The Minister, who spoke through her Special Assistant, Mr. Orji Ogbonaya Orji, said no amount of intimidation would make her deviate from the path of constitutionality and the side of Nigerians on the need for Yar’Adua to transmit a letter to the National Assembly.

Orji said: "First, Prof. Dora Akunyili will not dignify such a statement with any response. I do not want to believe that the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation could cast aspersions on the integrity of Prof. Dora Akunyili and that is why my boss will not like to dignify this with any response because all Nigerians are aware of her excellent service to the nation as Director-General of the National Agency for Foods and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

"Her service in NAFDAC remains a positive reference point till today. However, we are aware that for the fact that Prof. Akunyili has blown the whistle through her memo to the Federal Executive Council, all kinds of spurious allegations and cheap blackmail will begin to come in from quarters clearly opposed to her position to stand on the side of Nigerians and the law of the land.

"But we wish to caution that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones because when you point a finger at your perceived enemies, the other four are pointing at you.

"Let it be known that Prof. Akunyili remains a loyal member of this administration and will not succumb to any cheap blackmail."

QUite interesting! Aondoakaa is getting jittery' the day of reckoning is drawing nearer, the cabal is faultering and they are getting desperate, very desperate. Que la seance commence!

I wish we are a nation of laws that should make that AGF idonkia be locked up in an island prison and the keys thrown away. The guy is insane like his offshore boss, seriously.

The whole nation and the world see a lying cabinet, and someone stand up to be counted against full cirle deception. Since Yar A'liar got rid of RIBADU through the backdoor via Idonkia and ibori, I knew this government is two faced lying govt. Rule of law is a cover for thieves.

Once Goodluck becomes Acting President, I hope the first thing to do is get rid of few non leader ministers.

Sometimes when people got themselves in a position they don't expect they become mad dog. Soldier will always go an come, barrack will remain, so also is ministers and government. NIGERIA IS BIGGER THAN ANYONE, AND ANYONE FAMILY, that includes AGF Idonkia and
YAR A'LIAR, TROUBLED TURAI, and all the kitchen cabinet.

Everyday is for the thief, one day is for the owner. NIGERIAN'S DAY IS JUST ONE DAY AWAY, to pay all the eneemies of Nigeria in their own coin.

I prophecy that in the next few days, aondoaka will reap the fruit of his mischief.

Good! Andoakaa is so beguilled with his folly and botched plans that he can't help but lash out at a woman who can't fall in line with d ravenous pack. He can go to hell and have his anus soldered by the devil himself, Nigeria must survive and not him and his wicked antics. He knows Dora's pedigree in NAFDAC, where's he coming from. For him, the end lurks around. Ewu!

Seriously this Aoondokaa is an enemy of progress and should be prosecuted without delay.
A lady summoned enough courage to point fingers, knowing her job is on the line , yet this ugly idiot wont appreciate that sacrifice. ONLY IN NIGERIA CAN THAT HAPPEN.

Yes, someone should tell aondookaa that dora is already our hero.

Exactly

While I have an issue with Dora for waiting this long,she eventually did the right thing.As for Aondoakaa well I think we should just ignore him, as it is said " do not argue with a fool, cos people might not notice the difference"

Foolish Man, your plans will never work !

Only the truth shall set you free.

Na Today.aondoakaa has always been à Traitor to the nigerian Nation.
He is blackmailing Dora because He knew any New Leader will 1st get rid of him.
He is à fraud on us and should Be Sacked and jailed for misadvising the President.
How Long will Nigeria Be  chained by this selfish/insatiable cabals?

The man is a big fool. Sometimes i wonder if he can hear himself.

Aondoakaa is a CHIDODIDO,his Yar'dua boy i dn't expect less from him,shallow minded crocodile.

Aondo-buffon is d most shameless being
His come uppance is nigh
Same with his paymasters!!!

This local charge and bail lawyer that was operating at Gboko now has mouth cos luck just put him in power now. How the hell did he become a SAN. This man has never spoken the truth for once in his life, he never thinks before he talks, he talks too much to be a man. O what a disgrace to the men folk.  The earlier he recognises that his job is not forever the better for him o.

Seriously,
Anyone who has close ties to Aondoakaa,directly or indirectly is someone I wouldn't want to come near a radius of 50 miles.How that hot-aired baloon managed to become a lawyer and make it this far in his career has to be considered as the 8th wonder of the world.

ill beat the livin daylight outta that aodonaka or fckever his name is

oloshi

Aondoakaa is the most shameless person in Nigeria today.

Who knows, perhaps after their beef, the cud make out.

my gosh,will there be no end to this mans madness.'cheap hero'? have he finally lost that tiny mind of his? why dont Aondoakaa just resign and take his dead president with him so that this nation will move forward. he it was that told us that Yardead can rule even from his grave. when will we rid his nation of these sick parasites and backside-lickers?
i wish that Jonathan will have the balls to take the bull by the horns and then get rid of these bastards and infact put them in jail. they want to silence the woman and anyone that is opposing their evil plans in aso rock.

that man is a donkey,honestly speaking, let him look at himself in the mirrow

i know that God that took abacha and his co-hot away is about to struck again,with this crazy people called themself kitchen cabinet and the four kastina boys.

I have gone beyond wondering the craze of this man's defiant and ardent support to his paymasters to wondering if he has made a covenant where he agreed that except he shamefully embarrasses himself anytime he opens his mouth, Lucifer invites him to a personal lunch. Does this man still have a soul!!

I wont do that if i were u. He is a professional Gboko warrior oh.

I, have always said and will continue to maintain that the biggest disapointment to the black race is Aaodoakan. He has shown himself to be a coward in all regards. Dubious in all ways. He thought all his gimmicks are hiden from the people. After his sack from office, I believe the only country he can run to and move around in the night is either Saudi Arabia or Dubia. He definitly pay for his sins.

Both of the are birds of a feather. She wants 2 pul out when their plan is failing. She is using "Etee" as a woman in the FEC to claim back her lost hero. 1stly, Y did she pick up lie-lie appointment. See, poor nigerians, the rich ones hate u all & they have been doing all they could to continue to enrich themselves alone. Dora should go & live in AJ City in Lag, Indoaaki should pack to Lagos Street in Kano & Yar'liar should have his hospital bed @ Federal Medical Centre, Abakaliki, if they are serving Nigerians really.

Hw many of their pickins they school 4 9ija? If they are, which school? It must definitely be private school. Using tax payer money to sponsure their children to expensive schools. Later in the future, Akunyili junior will come to be minister of lie-lie again.

stupid idiots.

Aaondiot, Does that man hav a brain? Which kind person be dis. Ode, u go soon komot den u go hear am. Atulu.

this man is a big fool and self centred too.
What does he want to get from all this.

I wish one could stuff his mouth with explosives and have it detonated.

Aondokaa is a custodian of constitution.

Aondoakaa "U ARE ABOVE 10 FOR CHRIST'S SAKE" Haba!!

foolish aondoakraze
