With the submission of 12 ministerial nominees to the Senate for screening on Tuesday by President Goodluck Jonathan, there are indications that Stella Oduah, the controversial Minister of Aviation, may retain her position in the Federal Executive Council, contrary to the expectations of most Nigerians.
It was learnt that the 12 nominees will fill the 12 vacant positions in the Federal Executive Council.
P.M.NEWS also gathered that despite the public outcry against Oduah, the President is not contemplating her removal for now.
It was gathered that apart from his conviction that the minister is doing a good job in the aviation sector, the President has also come under tremendous pressure from leading Igbo groups and personalities who argued that Oduah is being unduly persecuted.
