Reports coming from Aso Rock, the seat of power in Abuja are pretty
sensational and it appears the political calculations of President
Goodluck Jonathan and his boys will not be served by the newly sworn in
Minister of Defence, Gen. Aliyu Gusau, as they intend to have a "yes
man" who will help them win the election.
But President Jonathan is not ready to let Gusau leave his cabinet as
he's seen as a big fish and if due care is not taken, the leading
opposition party, APC, may grab him and work with him for their victory
in 2015.
Consequently, Senate President David have been reaching out to all past
leaders to help talk to Gusau to give President Jonathan's government a
second chance and withdraw his resignation...
Finally, following the intervention of some ex-leaders and military
chiefs, General Gusau has decided to stay in the government but on
certain conditions that are being kept secret. But sources in Abuja say
he will have a free hand to operate in the Ministry of Defence and if he
sense any "foul play", he'll quit completely.
Aliyu Gusau is a no nonsense man. We wait to see how things will unfold in the coming weeks.
