Reports Show President’s Decision Is Political
- Updated: March 5, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan has sacked the Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi. Mr Abdulahi’s sack was announced just before the commencement of Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
He was absent at the meeting.
African Examiner gathered that the political rivalry between PDP and APC in Kwara state may have caused Mr Abdullahi his job as he is believed to be a close supporter of Senator Bukola Saraki and Governor Ahmed, who recently dumped the PDP for APC.
Another report says that Abdulahi got the axe following a report served the President by the Senate concerning the minister’s failure to appear before the Senate to defend his Ministry’s budget in the last three years.
During his tenure as minister, Abdulahi’s achievement remain enviable, winning the African Cup of Nations and the Under 17 Fifa World Cup.
