PREMIUM TIMES Transcript: Stella Oduah armoured car scandal House Committee hearing (2) – Live Update
Ini Ekott
 
The House of Representatives committee on Aviation, will today conclude hearing on the purchase of two armoured cars for the aviation minister, Stella Oduah, for N255 million.

The hearing was adjourned from yesterday, Wednesday, to allow the aviation minister attend. The minister was expected at the Wednesday hearing but was absent because she was away in Israel for a bilateral air service agreement signing.

The highlight of today’s hearing would be the minister’s appearance. Her absence at the hearing yesterday angered many lawmakers who said it would be her last opportunity to be heard.

PREMIUM TIMES’ National Assembly correspondent, Ini Ekott, will provide you with updates as they unfold from the hearing room.

 14:25 :  Hearing Ends. Thanks for following our updates. Do stick around our site for the rest of the day as we will put the proceeding in their correct perspective for you.

14:22 : Reps wrapping the hearing. Chairperson Onyejeocha said despite the testimonies from those invited since last week, the committee has received sufficient documents that will inform its report. “We have given everyone fair hearing,” she said.

“We assure everyone and all Nigerians we will do justice”.

14:14 : Attention has left the minister for more than half an hour. Lawmakers again tackle Coscharis over the disparity in chassis numbers of the cars.

A frustrated Chief Executive of Coscharis, Cosmas Maduka,makes it clear his company has nothing to hide as the committee would think. “We are not doing monkey business here,” he asserted. Mr Maduka was asked to withdraw the comment and he promptly complied.

13:47 : Jerry Manwe (Member) to minister: If the armoured cars were not for you as you claimed, who is using them now?

Former acting DG answers for minister: Any one can use any car in the pool
 
Manwe: Do you mean a cleaner can use those kind of cars?

Former DG: Anybody can use; but those kind of cars are for VIP movement, including foreign dignitaries, including the minister, and even you honourable member!

They have been shamed, ODUAH 1-0 ODUDUWA

Finally, Odua wins round one. Shifts liability to NCAA.

When one hausa man was challanging both Oduah and DG of NCAA today, I no fit laugh...

The man frowned his face and was pointing at them and challanging them seriously..

Oduah and the DG couldn't say anything, house committee members were just laughing at them

Longeria: They have been shamed, ODUAH 1-0 ODUDUWA

Actually, it's the east that has been shamed. Every "hardworking Igbo" woman in GEJ's cabinet is corrupt.

Story story.

In a sane con3, she shd have honourably step aside for proper investigation to take place anyway sha whether she will be sack or retain, she will be in the Nigeria record among those that spend money in dubious way but she was cover up by our ogas like they have been doing for others.

all i see is thieves interviewing a smaller thief

Is the STEela IN jail yet

cute bobo: Foolish woman. Woman for that matter. Student dey seat at home all because ASUU strike, U dey waste money. I wonder why animals are in government. 100 billion minus 255 million, at least, it will solve part problem. Na God go punish u

Foolish Woman?? Na your mama age mate oh!!

i seems not to understand the game(s) our leaders are playing. this woman in subject is a culprit, there is nothing she can say that will justified her.she diverted public funds into her purse and some people are out there backing her. one thing that u guys refused to understand is this, this criminal (Oduah) has eaten your future with her own and if necessary steps are not taken against her she will continuing looting our money, saving it for her unborn generations(which God will punish) and an average nigerian will remain on the same spot they are. please my fellow citizens lets forget the issue of tribe and let us fight corrupt leaders who doesnt care for the well being of an average nigerian. Madam Stella is a thief, she is a big thief, let her refund our money back and she should go and sit down at home after-all she can survive without holding public office. thanx

Hmm, the truth is we can't do anythinq bout it, until the day we will take our destiny and fight for our rights, all these poo will keep happening. Or was anybdy expecting the Honorable criminals to perform any magic? Or ve y'all forgotten bout Honorable criminal Farouk? , y'all shud just stop wasting ur Bis.

She still on that seat will make it difficult for proper investigation.
She will be able to influence the ministry and make them say or do whatever she orders.
more of why she was able to get the chassis numbers changed.
If she had been replaced, that would have been difficult and all the rots in the renovation projects would have been out.

she dey siphone taxpayers money in the guise of renovations

Jonathan should act pls, Most of these guys are only trying to balance being in her good books and not soiling their own name
