A mild drama occurred at the River Jordan in Israel when the
Nigerian delegation headed by President Goodluck Jonathan went on
October 26, 2013, to offer prayers, led by the President of the
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Ayo Oritsejafor.
After praying for President Jonathan and several dignitaries at the
venue, Mr. Oritsejafor then specifically prayed for Mrs. Oduah, but to
his surprise several people in the gathering refused to say “Amen” to
his prayer, stunning the leader of CAN and President Jonathan. Several
people then exchanged glances and moved on. If President Jonathan thought the controversy about the BMW car scam
would quickly away, he is mistaken, as calls for the prosecution of the
Minister grew louder over the weekend as it emerged that the Nigerian
Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the agency arm-twisted to purchase the
cars, cannot physically locate them. It would be noted that on October 27, 2013, Sunday, the Abuja-based
online news platform, Premium Times, reported that the office of the
National Security Adviser has said that neither the Minister nor the
NCAA applied for, or received the mandatory “End User Certificate” for
the cars.
Similarly, several sources at the Federal Road Safety Corps have told
SaharaReporters that the agency never presented the cars for licensing.
