Senator Oduah made this sensational revelation in an upcoming book, ‘On a Platter of Gold: How Jonathan Won and Lost Nigeria’, written by National Publicity Secretary of All Progressive Congress, APC, Bolaji Abdullahi, who himself served as a minister under Jonathan from 2011-2014.
According to The Cable, in the book that will go on sale nationwide from November 30, 2017, after the launch, the Senator representing Anambra North spilled the beans about how she was sacked by Jonathan in 2014 over her $1.6 million BMW armoured cars scandal, alleging that her sack was at the prompting of Diezani,
““I thought she had my back. I did not know at the time that she was actually fuelling it and orchestrating all the media attacks,” she told Abdullahi.
“I knew all along that Diezani could not deal with having another female around who had the kind of access I had to the president. But she went too far. She thought I was the one who leaked the issue of private jet that put her into trouble with the House of Representatives (Diezani was accused of spending N10 billion on chartered jets). For her it was payback time.” the online news medium quoted Oduah as saying in the book.
