According to this report by the PUNCH Newspaper: 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.
The women
in Jonathan’s cabinet have carried out most of the glaring cases of abuse of
power including reckless spending of taxpayers’ money. 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.
