Stella Oduah Bounces Back, To Head Pro-Jonathan’s 2015 Campaign groups

Barely two months after she was axed as the head of the aviation ministry, following allegations among which is the purchase of two bullet proof BMW cars with the funds of the ministry, former minister of aviation, Stella Oduah will soon bounce back into the saddle of the Jonathan administration ahead of the 2015 election.

According to a report by Vanguard, the minister may have been saddled with the responsibility of coordinating all the groups presently positioning themselves to campaign for President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election in 2015.
The report which said the presidency was creating a unit called Research and Strategy unit, which will later metamorphose into a body that will spearhead the President’s campaign for re-election bid in 2015 will have Stella Oduah as the Director General.
The task the former minister will be saddled with would be similar to what she did prior to 2011 Presidential election when she handled a major campaign and enlightenment platform, the Neighbour to Neigbhour project which was very vibrant and made great impact, the report said.
Ahead of 2015 presidential election, different groups and non-governmental Organisations, NGOs rooting for President Jonathan’s re- election bid are currently not less than 115, just as they await for the formal declaration of  the President to declare for 2015 presidency.
Oduah, a source said  came to mind for the position, given the strategic role she played in 2011 when Jonathan’s campaign was in full swing.
It will be recalled that she resigned last month, along side  former Minister of Police Affairs, Caleb Olubolade; former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe and former Minister of State for Finance, Yerima Ngama.

The unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic is changing the face of human society and its systems, from healthcare to education, consumption patterns, the world of work, value systems, political regimes and legal systems. The condition was first reported in Nigeria in February 2020, and within a few weeks of its onset, we had entered the community transmission phase. Today, there are more than 16,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across 35 States and the FCT, and over 400 deaths and counting. How Nigeria recovers from the effects of the infection will depend on the innovations we are willing to introduce and the reforms we are committed to implementing in the various sectors of our society.

Such complaints range from torture, its use by some powerful citizens to settle their scores against lesser mortals, unprovoked brutalization of innocent citizens, summary execution of suspects etc.

Why We Must Implement Diaspora Voting System By Hon. Alex Obi-Osuala

Image
Diaspora votes must count in Nigeria. This is my position/opinion. If not because of the dubious nature of the officials in the government of Nigeria, one does not see any reason why Nigerians in Diaspora shouldn’t be voting as done in most countries of the world. Their votes would have been making a great difference, and give them a sense of belonging and participation in the affairs of the nation.
