The inability of the sacked Minister of Youth Development,
Alhaji Abdulkhadir Turaki, 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 when no election
took place cost him his job.
President Jonathan relieved the minister of his appointment on Monday.
Disclosing why the minister was sacked in Minna on 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.
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.”
