President Goodluck Jonathan, still wielding the long knife, on Friday relieved two of his special advisers of their appointments.
They are, the Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters, Senator Joy Emordi and the Special Adviser on the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, Dr Tunji Olagunju.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja and signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati.
The statement said the two were relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.
It thanked them for their services and wished them success in their future endeavours.
Last week, President Jonathan also sacked nine ministers in his cabinet. He had earlier sacked the youth minister.
Meanwhile, two legislators have said that they were sad over the sacking of Sen. Joy Emordi as Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on National Assembly.
In separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the lawmakers described Emordi as a hard working woman who did so much to improve the relationship between the Executive and the Legislature.
Rep. Samson Osagie (APC-Edo), the Minority whip of the House of Representatives, described the adviser as a democrat who understood the dynamics of Executive-Legislature relationship.
“I commend her for the much she did as Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters.
“She is, and will remain the joy of the National Assembly,” he said.
In his reaction, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila (APC-Lagos), the Minority Leader of the House, said he was surprised at the sack of Emordi.
