Aondoakaa, Akunyili clash over Yar’Adua – The Nation
February 8, 2010 by Bunmi Awolusi
Ministers are poised for a showdown over Prof. Dora Akunyili’s memo for President Umaru Yar’Adua to hand over to Vice President Goodluck Jonathan.
A taste of what to expect at Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting emerged yesterday, with Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Michael Aondoakaa (SAN) accusing the Information and Communication Minister of “trying to make herself an angel and a cheap hero”.
But Mrs Akunyili vowed not to succumb to “cheap blackmail”, cautioning that “those who live in glass houses should not throw stones”.
Mrs Akunyili’s memo is prejudicial and subjudice because there is a case before the Court of Appeal on the issue, Aondoakaa said.
The Minister described Mrs Akunyili as a self-seeking office holder who wants to make herself a cheap hero.
