The Senator representing Anambra North in the National Assembly, Sen. Stella Oduah has described as mischievous, recent reports that she was evading invitations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, Oduah said that the report was the handiwork of political detractors whose aim was to pitch the anti-graft agency against her.
However, the Senator stressed that the story was mere fabrication, which did not emanate from the EFCC, adding that she had been in constant correspondence with the commission.
She said that she was willing to defend her stewardship during her time as minister, adding that she followed due processes in all her dealings while in charge of the ministry.
“The season of politics is here again and some people must play the politics of pull down syndrome, this is what perhaps informed the fabrications in the story.
“Even the publication did not say that I stole any government money or awarded contracts to myself,” she said.
The senator said that she had carved a niche for herself in the business world, within and outside the shores of Nigeria even before she ventured into the murky waters of Nigerian politics in 2010.
According to her, she is a citizen of Nigeria, who has no other home but Nigeria and would not be distracted by activities of her detractors.
Oduah stressed that the sinister purpose of the news story is to pitch her against the Commission and the general public.
She therefore urged her detractors to leave her alone and learn to play the politics of hard facts and issues.
She stated that contracts awarded under her watch as a minister were done in her official capacity and they went through due process.
The senator added that in her time as minister, she transformed the aviation sector and followed all established processes and procedures.
