The presidency has picked holes in the rumours making the rounds that the sack of nine Ministers by President Goodluck Jonathan had political undertones.
.
Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak explained that the decision to unseat the ministers was far from being connected with the current crises rocking the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
.
Speaking while inaugurating a 44 member Elders Committee Gulak at the behest of the Goodluck Support Group (GSG) stated that the unity of the country remained paramount over and above parochial interest of persons or group of individuals in the polity.
.
According to him: "This is the decision of Mr. President. It is his constitutional power to hire and fire. The ministers were working for Mr. President and it has nothing to do with the PDP misunderstanding and disagreement.
.
I believed that ministers who were relieved of their appointments had already contributed their own quota.
.
Apparently referring to members of the "New PDP" faction, Gulak who is the national coordinator of the GSG noted that the PDP-led administration would not be intimidated with the presence of any viable opposition political party.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will emerge as president of this country if Nigeria want him to be given the chance to go for a second term! It's up to the citizens of this country.......
