When you hear that
Nigerians are running to
Ghana for education and
business, it is because
they have good and
patriotic leaders who do
not take their people for
granted as is being done
by Nigerian leaders.
As you read this, Ghana's
President John Mahama
sacked the Deputy
Minister of
Communications, Victoria
Hammah without 24 hours
after she was involved in
a scandal that is not even
close to what Stella
Oduah did to our common
wealth in Nigeria.
Ghana's president sacked
the woman for just
making a statement that
suggests corruption...
Last week, a taped
conversation that Victoria
Hammah had with
someone, in which she
allegedly said she would
not leave politics until she
had made $1m (about
N156m), leaked. And by
Friday, she was sacked
by the President to
prevent her from being
tempted to be corrupt.
According to a Punch
report, this is coming at a
time that Nigerians are
impatiently awaiting a
decisive step by President
Goodluck Jonathan over
the role of the Aviation
Minister, Stella Oduah, in
the purchase of two cars
at a mind-boggling cost
of about N255m.
Interestingly, Victoria
Hammah and Stella
Oduah are said to have
played similar active roles
in the elections of their
respective principals, but
the President of Ghana
did not allow such
sentiments to confuse
him.
"On this bulletproof
cars matter, we have
wasted a lot of time,
and we have yet to
take a decision on it.
One of the issues we
need to address is:
Were they provided
for in the budget?
Who approved the
purchase? Does the
person have the
authority to do so?
" Whoever committed
a crime in the whole
matter should be
made to face the
punishment due to
anyone in that
circumstance . The
President has
delayed too much on
the matter."
Says Obo Effanga of the
Action Aid International,
Nigeria.
