President
Goodluck Jonathan yesterday sacked Senator Joy Emordi as his special adviser on
National Assembly matters.
Jonathan
also terminated the appointment of Dr Tunji Olagunju as his special adviser on
the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD).
In a
terse statement, the special adviser to the president on media and publicity,
Dr Reuben Abati, said the sack of the two aides took immediate effect.
“President
Jonathan thanks Mrs Emordi and Dr Olagunju for their services and wishes them
success in their future endeavours,” Abati said.
Although
Abati did give reasons for their sack,it was gathered that Senator
Emordi’s removal may not be unconnected with what a presidency source described
as her poor handling of the relationship between the president and members of
the National Assembly.
According
to the source, “the president is not happy that his relationship with the
federal lawmakers, especially those of the green chamber, had continually
remained frosty, which was manifested in the visit of the Abubakar Baraje-led
new Peoples Democratic Party (new PDP) this week”.
“The
president has directed his men to shop for a politician with political clout
and sagacity to effectively take charge of the liaison between the presidency
and the National Assembly. That person is also expected to be able to quickly
detect and avert situations like the brawl in the House of Representatives this
week which culminated in a free for all at the green chamber,” the source
added.
