Published

on

Before she got her big move to the Federal Capital Abuja, former Aviation Minister, Princess Stella Oduah was a typical businesswoman who was toiling hard but making good money from her outfit, Sea Petroleum and Gas (SPG).

However, it seems those good old days are gone forever because Princess Oduah is now an Abuja power broker who has certainly moved to greater things and abandoned her Nmulti-million office, tankers and exotic cars inLekki, Lagos-and they are roting away!

Located along the Lekki –Epe Expressaway, insiders revealed that the building complex which has several building used to be a beehive of activities when she was holding court but that is now a thing of the past as it is completely dead-taken over by reptiles and wild weeds.

Society Reporters gathered that for some years, she leased the property to Chevron Nigeria and they used it for a while after which the American Oil major left it-and since then, three years ago, it has been under lock and key and not seen any new occupant.

We gathered from a property expert that rents on the buildings could have been generating millions and if we add what the many tankers would have been raking daily, it means the loses are indeed colossal.

Princess Oduah who had to be relieved of her position following a scandal over the purchase of two BMW bullet-proof, is reportedly back at her office in Neighbour to Neighbour, getting ready to coordinate the re-election campaign of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Neighbour to Neighbour, a well-oiled and funded machinery deployed different strategies that enhanced the campaign and eventual victory of the President Jonathan at the last presidential elections.

And as it is the norm all over the world, in appreciation, while Princess Oduah got the position of Minister of Aviation, the former helmsman of the organisation, Mike Omeri was appointed to replace Alhaji Idi Farouk as the Director-General, National Orientation (NOA)

The former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Naomi Silekunola; the Chairman of an Ibadan-based broadcasting station, Oriyomi Hamzat; and the Principal of Islamic High School, Basorun, Abdulahib Fasasi, appeared again on Monday before the Chief Magistrate Court in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The trio face four counts, bordering on conspiracy, murder, manslaughter, and negligence, in connection with the deaths of 35 children during a stampede at a Christmas funfair held on December 18, 2024.

Previously, they were held on a Golden charge by the same court but were granted bail on legal grounds after their counsel argued that a holden charge is neither recognised nor valid under Nigerian law.

The case, slated for mention on Monday, was adjourned by the Chief Magistrate until March 24, 2025.

Speaking with journalists, Hamzat’s counsel, Dapo Akinosi, explained: “The matter today was actually slated for mention because when they were arraigned initially, it was on a holden charge, which is not recognised by our law. They were remanded in prison as a result of that charge.

“We subsequently applied to the High Court, where bail was granted to the defendants. Legal advice has now been issued, and the proper information has been filed against them. However, they are yet to be served with the information.

“Today, we came to court so that the charge here could be withdrawn. Since their plea has not yet been taken at the High Court, we requested a longer adjournment to allow proper proceedings, including plea-taking at the High Court, before the case can be concluded at the Magistrate Court.”

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Meranda, officially moved into the Speaker’s office at the Lagos State House of Assembly Complex on Monday.

Videos circulating on social media on Monday showed supporters praising God and praying for her as she assumed office.

Meanwhile, the Assembly Complex has heightened security ahead of the plenary session scheduled for Monday.

The plenary follows speculations of a potential showdown in the House, as the former Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, had claimed on Saturday that he remains the Speaker of the House.

Obasa was replaced by Meranda after being removed by the majority of House members on January 13, 2025, following allegations of misconduct and financial misappropriation.

However, he denied the allegations on Saturday, challenging the lawmakers to substantiate their claims.

Today’s plenary will be the third session presided over by Meranda since Obasa’s removal, with the former Speaker absent from the previous two sittings.
