A Nigerian Lawyer, Liborous Oshomah, has described the call for the probe of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison-Madueke, for waste of resources on the arbitrary charter and maintenance of a challenger 850 Aircraft for non-official use, as malicious and aimed at scuttling the second term ambition of the Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan. A member of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Babatunde Adejare, had raised a motion seeking the probe of the minister. Mr Oshomah said that the way the motion was presented at the floor of the House of Representative it showed that there was a motive behind the call for the probe.
