The Minister of Youth Development,
Alhaji Abdulkhadir Turaki, has been sacked because of his inability to
effectively manage his portfolio and the presentation of a forged list of new
executive of National Council of Youth of Nigeria (NCYN) to President Goodluck
Jonathan.
The
minister has been relieved of his appointment by the President Jonathan on
August 26, 2013, Monday.
Disclosing
why the minister was sacked in Minna on August 28, 2013, Wednesday, the
Chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) and Niger State
governor, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, said the minister did not show enough
understanding of his job as he failed to present the actual facts to the
President on the botched NCYN election that took place last February in
Makurdi, Benue state.
Dr.
Aliyu said the NCYN election did not hold in Makurdi and a transition committee
was put in place, but he alleged that the minister and his aides presented a
forged list of new executive members of the council to the President.
The
Governor, who commended the action of the President made these revelations
while receiving the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims
Commission Mr. Kennedy Okpara, in his office.
He
said,” Please thank the President for me for what he did to the Minister of
Youth.
“The President did what was expected
of a leader that does not want any of his officials to cause disharmony among
the people.”
