The frosty relationship between President Goodluck Jonathan and 5
northern governors on Monday claimed its first victim as the President
ordered the immediate sack of the Minister of Youth Development, Alhaji
Inuwa Abdulkadir from his cabinet.
“The President cannot afford to retain any minister, who is working at
cross purposes with him in any state. Ministers are supposed to be the
eyes of the President in the states. If the President cannot guarantee a
minister’s loyalty, such a minister will go. That is why he has been
asked to leave,” said a Presidency source.
