Since inception, President Goodluck Jonathan’s
administration has been accused of impunity,
usually caused by decisions and actions of the
President, including those of his ministers and
close associates.
Most of the glaring cases of abuse of power including
reckless spending of taxpayers’ money have been
carried out by the women in Jonathan’s cabinet.
These women have proven to be more powerful than
the number one citizen of Nigeria because despite
public outcries that greet some of their decisions, they
go scot-free.
Those who fall in this seemingly untouchable category
are the First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan; the
Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of
Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; the Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke; the
Director-General of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Ms. Arunma Oteh; and the Minister of
Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah.
These powerful women have some things in common.
They are all from the South-East and South-South
geopolitical zones.
Four of them had their higher education in the United
States and two of them are daughters of traditional
rulers. Needless to say they occupy some of the most
strategic and ‘lucrative’ positions in the Federal
Government.
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
