Jonathan’s Aides, Special Advisers Intensify

Lobby Not to Get Fired by Buhari

Nigeria - As the handover ceremony draws closer,

Jonathan's aides, special advisers and heads of

agencies have intensify their lobbying to retain

their positions under the Buhari-led

administration, Leadership says.

Top among the lobbyists are people from the

president’s region, the Niger-Delta, many of

whom investigations revealed, have been on a

spending spree, dishing out millions to those who

have assured them that a case would be made

for them to retain their jobs.

Senior management of the board of the Niger

Delta Development Commission (NDDC), some of

who heavily funded the Peoples Democratic Party

(PDP) campaigns in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states

where they hail from, are among those who have

been working assiduously to ensure that they

retain their positions, as well as the special

adviser to president Jonathan on Niger-Delta,

Kingsley Kuku.

However, spokesperson of the All Progressives

Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed, while

reacting to the development in a telephone chat

yesterday, said though he was not aware of the

development, it would amount to nought.
