$1.6M (N255M) Bullet Proof Cars,Who Is After Your Life MADAM?

Nigerian political leaders will never stop amusing us, we are really suffering in this country oh and our politicians know that we are just crazy noise makers,how can we explain all these stories we hear everyday about Government officials spending huge sums of money like this on things that are not worth it.For heaven's sake why  will the Ministry of Aviation buy two bulletproof vehicles worth $1.6m (N255m) for the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, claiming that it was for security reasons.
Mr. Joe Obi, the Special Assistant (Media) to the Minister of Aviation who confirmed the development on Wednesday, in a telephone conversation that vehicles were purchased to protect the minister from some external threats.

“Yes, it is true that some security vehicles were procured for the use of the office of the honourable minister in response to the clear and imminent threat to her personal security and life following the bold steps she took to reposition the sector.

“When she came on board as the minister, she inherited a lot of baggage in terms of the concession and lease agreements in the sector, which were clearly not in the interest of the government and people of Nigeria.

“And so, she took bold steps and some of these agreements were reviewed and some were terminated, and these moves disturbed some entrenched interests in the sector, and within this period, she began to receive some imminent threats to her life; therefore, the need for the vehicles.

“It should be noted that these vehicles are not personal vehicles and were not procured in the name of the honourable minister; they are utility vehicles and are for the office of the minister, and if she leaves the office, she will not be taking the vehicles along with her.”Joe Obi said.


Stella Oduah who described air accidents as God’s will that were inevitable. Said, “We do not pray for accidents but they are inevitable. But we will continue to do everything to ensure that we do not have accidents. But an accident is an act of God.

“Again, we do not speculate on the causes of accidents. Until they happen, you cannot say this is the cause or that is not the cause. But what is obvious and is the truth is that in aviation, there are shared responsibilities, starting from the man that carries your luggage to the man that makes sure that your boarding pass is issued to you.


“And so, the regulatory agency, the operators, the management, everybody has his/her responsibility and all must work in tandem for there to be an optimal, secure and safe aviation sector in the country. And that is what we have been working on.”


Meanwhile, these are the chronological air crashes that occurred during Stella Oduah’s tenure:
1 Dana Air crash in Lagos on June 3, 2012, in which 163 people died.
2 the Associated Airlines crash of October 3, 2013, also in Lagos, which 15 lives lost.
3.Kabo Airlines’ Boeing 747-400 plane carrying 512 pilgrims made an emergency landing at the Sokoto airport with deflated tyres and damaged the airport’s Instrument Landing System.
4. an IRS Airlines Fokker 100 plane carrying 99 passengers also made an emergency landing at the Kaduna airport,on Sunday,13, October,2013, after developing hydraulic problems mid-air.

However, my question to Ms Stella Odua is that who is after her life?
