The relieved Ministers are Stella Oduah (Aviation), Caleb Olubolade (Police Affairs), Godsday Orubebe (Niger Delta Police Affairs), and Yerima Ngama (State, Finance).
Some sources within Jonathan's cabinet indicate that the said lawmakers were "dropped, they did not resign," while others say their sack was passed off as voluntary resignation.
The reasons behind Olubolade, Orubebe and Ngama's exit are also yet to be specified.
However, Stella Oduah's case is related to corruption-related offences. It will be recalled that both the House of Representatives and a presidential committee indicted her for approving purchase of two bullet-proof cars for N255m. Investigations have also revealed that Oduah has forged her academic qualifications. This has caused public outrage in the country, with many Nigerians calling for her removal and prosecution.
More details soon.
