It details unnerving queries alluding to some form of manipulation of the information regarding the acquzition of bullet-proof vehicles by Nigerias Ministry authorities: =========== 1. Which Agency bought those cars? Ans :NCAA. 2. Is Princess Stella the DG of NCAA? Ans: No 3a. Is it true that the NCAA is financially autonomous ? Ans : Yes 3b. Would it be safe to assume that the NCAAs financial autonomy means their financial activities dont fall within the purview of the Minister of Aviation the same way the CBN is autonomous? Ans: Yes 4. Is it a fact that two bullet proof cars were bought by the financially autonomous agency called NCAA? Ans: Yes 5. If the Minister is not directly involved in the financial decisions of the NCAA, how logical is the conclusion that she forced the agency to make the purchase? Ans: Defies logic 6. For all the stories doing the rounds that the said cars belong to Stella Odua, is it right for a clear-minded person to claim the cars are not the personal properties of madam Minister? Ans: Yes 7. Is it safe to say the quoted price for the vehicles sounds outrageous to most sane minds? Ans : Yes 8. If all are agreed the price is outrageous, would it be safe to expect that any outrage emanating from the said transaction MUST FIRST be logically vested in the said autonomous agency and not the minister who statutorily has no say in how they choose to engage in financial transactions? Ans: Yes 9. How is it that it seems a nexus is being drawn between the said financial transaction and a minister who its not been proven has a say in it even when were agreed it doesnt statutorily fall within her purview? Ans: Defies logic 10. Is there a need for a probe of this transaction? Ans: Yes 11. Should the said probe start from apportioning blame even when its not taken off? Ans: No 12. Is it true that a lie frequently told wears robes labelled Truth and that we run the risk of elevating the wind instead of chasing substance by this constant fixation on madam Minister? Ans: Yes 13. Is it true that the news agency that broke the story erred in claiming madam minister forced the agency to make the purchase when even nothing in their story upholds the bold claims in their headlines? Ans: Yes 14. Is it true that the only thing Sahara Reporters succeeded in achieving was drawing our attention to the fact that an outrageous transaction was undertaken whilst cleverly (with their raging headline) apportioning unsubstantiated blames? Ans: Yes 15. Is there any known paper proof/trail ( the same type released by the whistle blower and presented by SR in graphically revealing the transaction) to suggest madam minister personally approved the transaction? Ans: No 16: Can Madam Minister approve the transaction without putting pen to paper and if we are agreed she gave approval, where is the document? Ans: No/Dunno 17. Can our current inability to trace this (currently imaginary) document justify the current elevation of conjectures as fact ? Ans: No 18. Would it be safe to assume men ought to seek ways to unravel the minds behind the transaction by first seeking accountability from those in the said agency for we always work from the known (NCAA) to the unknown ( Stella Odua)? Ans: Yes Bottomline, Yes there was a transaction, Yes someone has to be held accountable, No theres NOTHING presently on ground to support the claims that Stella forced the agency to buy those cars and theres nothing so far to suggest she was a part and parcel of the said transaction, Yes for all the noise baying for her blood, all they have masquerading as proof are merely conjectures fueled by legitimate outrage, Yes its a known fact the world over that the buck stops at the table of a leader but there is an increasingly intentional misconception of situating the said leader for the simple reason that this buck dont statutorily stop at Stella Oduas table but the DG of NCAA! ============ The graveyard silence on the bullet-proof car purchase by the ordinarily loquacious APC characters, in the face of the facts that their leadership (particularly Mr. Bola Tinubu and Mr. Fashola) likewise purchased bullet-proof vehicles at almost double the rate for which the Aviation Ministry is now being profiled, coupled with the clearly sectional and partisan orientations of Sahara Reporters, Punch and The Nation Newspapers which are spearheading the witch hunt of the Aviation Ministry, brings a totally new coloration to this entire episode. Perhaps a more holistic investigation into all vehicles purchased and used by all public officials in the country would be more productive than the express personality attack being unveiled.
