President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, sacked his Political Adviser, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, in an unceremonious manner.
Sources told Vanguard that Gulak’s sacking might not be unconnected
with his undue meddling in the affairs of some People’s Democratic
Party, PDP, states.
However, Gulak told Vanguard that his leaving the government had
nothing to do with the face-off with the Governor of Akwa Ibom State,
and Chairman of PDP Governor’s Forum, Chief Godswill Akpabio.
He said that he left the presidency to join the governorship race in
Adamawa State, saying “indigenes of Adamawa State are fed up with the
misgovernment of Admiral Murtala Nyako, whose accomplishments in office
has been very negligible and controversial.”
He said the people of Adamawa have been urging him “to come and
contest and the need to give his people the type of leadership that they
deserve has come.
“My relationship with President Goodluck Jonathan is very cordial and
PDP is functioning as a family. There is no faction among us and our
focus is winning 50 percent of the governorship seats in 2015.”
However, a top source told Vanguard that the President had lately
become uncomfortable with the activities of his Political Adviser and
had to send him packing.
The source pointed out that some governors of PDP had also been
kicking against the activities of the former Political Adviser and had
asked the President to call him to order for the sake of 2015 elections.
