Senator Stella Oduah, representing Anambra North Senatorial District
in the National Assembly, has denied media reports that she advised
President Muhammadu Buhari on how to prosecute former Minister of
Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Reacting to a report by some online media, Oduah said she never spoke
on Diezani’s case. She maintained that she did not grant any interview,
last Tuesday, as purported by the media reports.
The said reports alleged that the senator had advised the Federal
Government to employ due process in prosecuting the embattled former
minister.
The lawmaker who expressed sadness over the report, said the report was completely false.
Her words, “I did not grant any interview on Tuesday, i did not speak
to any journalist. Moreover, I never spoke on any matter concerning the
former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
“The report is untrue. Please disregard that report as it did not
come from Senator Stella Oduah. During a recent interview which I
granted last week, I only spoke on issues bothering on women, the
economy, need for inland ports in the South East, the aviation sector
and the PDP governorship primaries in Anambra state,” she said.
Given the fact that the two once powerful women in Jonathan's cabinet did not really get along, one wonders whether there is more to this story.
