"Shameful Judge will grant will grant the petroleum minister such a Shameful request" Oby tweeted
Adding that the blame should go to the Goodluck Jonathan-led Federal Government for "permitting" a minister to avoid public accountability.
She said, "There is so much that is wrong with our world today that can make the most incurable optimist become jaded. A Federal High Court in Abuja is to hear a suit filed by the petroleum minister seeking to stop the House of Representatives from probing her.
"Asking court to restrain the probe of the minister's alleged involvement in spending N10bn to maintain chartered planes; when does this end? Did the President know his minister made such a disgraceful request?
"Nobody doubts that there is an unfortunate pattern to National Assembly probes; yet, should the minister of petroleum resources be this blatant in avoiding public scrutiny?"
Arguing that only a judiciary in "very deep crisis" would give such a restraining order, she further queried the Jonathan administration's anti-corruption efforts.
"Whoever advised the minister of petroleum resources to abuse the judicial process and avoid the public accountability she swore to uphold despises her? By permitting a minister to avoid public accountability, is the Federal Government now transparently declaring the death of its anti-corruption efforts?
"I recommend a study of the United States democracy that we copied. The United States Congress inquiries are legitimate accountability processes."
