A Federal High Court in Abuja, on Monday refused a proposed amendment by the Goddess of Federal Government and Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, to her suit challenging the National Assembly’s power to probe her spending of N10bn on chartered jet.

Tectono Business Review gathered that the minister, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) are the plaintiffs in the suit.

Their proposed amendments are seeking additional prayers to their suit. The fresh prayers are to seek the court’s pronouncement on whether by the virtue of provisions of section 88 of the constitution, the National Assembly has the power to conduct oversight functions of probing government’s Ministries Departments and Agencies after receiving a petition to that effect.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed in his ruling on Monday held that granting such an amendment would change the character of the claims contained in the original suit before the court but granted the proposed amendment to include a prayer seeking the court to determine whether or not the proposed investigative public hearing by the House of Representatives was not illegal, null and void for failure to comply with the requirement of section 88 of the 1999 constitution.

The court had on June 19 made an order restraining the House of Representatives from going ahead with the public hearing on the allegation that Alison-Madueke spent N10bn on a chartered aircraft. The order of the court is to subsist pending the hearing of the substantive suit. Justice Mohammed had given the order ahead of the plan by the House Committee on Public Accounts to carry out the probe on June 25, 26 and 27, 2014.

The question is:

Did this Lady really spent N10B on private jet charter? What other illegalities of her, if any, need to be prived? If its indeed the truth, why hasn't she been at least suspended by her employer, FG?

When will few "thieves" stop distorting the future of millions of Nigerians on frivolous lifestyles? And people of such will be on podium asking me & you to vote for her cause or "cult group" so she/they can continue to milk us dry?

The future of this Great Nation depends on ME & YOU and there is no better time to state our positions and retake what rightly belongs to us than NOW.

General elections is here again, are you going to take N5,000 or a bag of rice "bribe" from this sort of stolen Billions and help rig the thieves in, again?

I ask the above questions because these thieves will never come to the polling units to snatch ballot boxes or rig election results but they will still use you while they relax in their Super Luxury Closets and laugh at your stupidity!
