attempt on the embattled Aviation Minister, Princess Stella
Oduah, describing the act as 'callous and a total violation of
her right to live'.
The National President, National Council of Women
Societies, NCWS, Mrs. Nkechi Mba, disclosed this while
speaking to newsmen in Abuja, adding that the threat on the
minister's life shows that some desperate persons want to
tarnish her image for giving the aviation sector a facelift.
Mba restated women's plea to the federal government to
consider the good works she has done in the sector by
tampering justice with mercy, stating however that women
will not take it likely if anything happens to the minister.
"Women are not happy with all that is happening and we will
not take it likely if anything happens to the minister. We have
been pleading that justice be tampered with mercy yet they
are threatening and attempting to kill her.
"She has done well in the aviation sector by achieving what
has not been achieved in aviation before she assumed office
yet some Nigerians are not happy. This clearly shows that
those threatening her life are only after her downfall and
drastic measures should be taken to stop this evil act, and
perpetrators be brought to book," she stressed.
The NCWS president further condemned reports going round
on social media and in some blogs that, the said assassination
attempt was a calculated plan to divert attention from the
controversy surrounding the purchase of the two bullet proof
cars at #250 million, so as to draw sympathy from Nigerians,
saying this is 'totally false'.
"I think we should all verify the truth before jumping into
insubstantial conclusions. It is somebody's life that is
involved here yet some selfish persons are playing pranks
with it. How can anybody want to deceive others of an
attempt on her life? I urge security agencies to do all it can to
fish out the perpetrators of this ungodly act," she said.
