                 Yesterday, the highly combative political adviser to the president, Ahmed Gulak was sacked. No reason was given for his sack in the statement released by the president’s spokesman, Reuben Abati. As expected when reasons are not given for actions, a speculation industry takes off.   There are two main camps giving different reasons for the sack of Gulak. One group argues that Gulak’s sack was a result of his interference in the politics of some states, most notably that of Akwa Ibom. Gulak, who is the coordinator of the Goodluck Jonathan Support Group, launched the South South office in Akwa Ibom, where he hobnobbed with opponents of the state governor, Godswill Akpabio. The event was mostly attended by PDP members in Akwa Ibom who were in a different camp from that of the state governor who is an ally of Pres. Jonathan. The PDP leaders...

Adamawa’s dictator governor, Murtala Haman Yero Nyako has so far spent over N100million from the state resources on teenage girls for fun and sometimes travelling with them to as far as the United States and Germany where there will be absolute ‘secrecy’. As a result, according to a very credible insider, two of the governor’s teenage girl friends are now university dropouts as they could not concentrate in their studies because they are always with the governor everywhere he goes either officially or privately. One of the victims of Nyako’s unbridled sexual life, a seventeen year old Aisha B. Dauda, whose exclusive picture with Nigeria’s oldest governor, seating on his lap in a chartered aircraft to the United States (see photo above) clearly demonstrate how irresponsible Mr. Nyako is and how he has wasted Adamawa’s resources over the years to enjoy himself at a time his people are dying of cholera, malaria, poverty and other curable and preventable diseases.   Bills/expen...
