Jonathan fires Oduah, three others

President Goodluck Jonathan, on Wednesday, fired Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, and three others from his cabinet.
Ms. Oduah has been involved in series of scandals including alleged fake degree certificates and purchase of two BMW armored cars for N225 million, a cost believed to be outrageous.
Other members of the Federal Executive Council affected by the sack are the minister of the Niger Delta, Godsday Orubebe, minister of police affairs, Chris Olukolade and the minister of state for Finance, Yerima  Ngama.
However, Jonathan’s administration prefers to tag their sack as ‘voluntary resignation’.
Except from Ms. Oduah, whose sack could be traced to her dimmed popularity and credibility burden placed on Jonathan's government, other disengaged minister are gunning for governorship position in their respective states.
