President Jonathan Sacks Two Special Advisers

The President of Nigeria has again relieved two more
people of their duties, in his work force.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser (Media &
Publicity), Mr Reuben Abati, President Goodluck Jonathan
disclosed that he has relieved Mrs. Joy Emordi of her
appointment as Special Adviser to the President on National
Assembly Matters with immediate effect.

“The President has similarly terminated the appointment of
Dr. Tunji Olagunju as his Special Adviser on the New
Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD),” the
statement read.

Mr Abati expressed thanks on behalf of the President to
Mrs. Emordi and Dr. Olagunju “for their services and wishes
them success in their future endeavours.”

This information is coming a few days after 9 ministers were
sacked from the President’s cabinet.

However, the move was touted as politically motivated
owing to the on-going crisis in the Peoples’ Democratic Party
to which Mr President belongs.
