Why Jonathan sacks Political Adviser, Gulak

*Gulak

Sources told Vanguard that Gulak’s sacking might not be unconnected with his undue meddling in the affairs of some People’s Democratic Party, PDP, states.
However, Gulak told Vanguard that his leaving the government had nothing to do with the face-off with the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, and
Chairman of PDP Governor’s Forum, Chief Godswill Akpabio.
He said that he left the presidency to join the governorship race in Adamawa State, saying “indigenes of Adamawa State are fed up with the misgovernment of Admiral Murtala Nyako, whose accomplishments in office has been very negligible and controversial.”
He said the people of Adamawa have been urging him “to come and contest and the need to give his people the type of leadership that they deserve has come.
“My relationship with President Goodluck Jonathan is very cordial and PDP is functioning as a family. There is no faction among us and our focus is winning 50 percent of the governorship seats in 2015.”
However, a top source told Vanguard that the President had lately become uncomfortable with the activities of his Political Adviser and had to send him packing.
The source pointed out that some governors of PDP had also been kicking against the activities of the former Political Adviser and had asked the President to call him to order for the sake of 2015 elections.
