Adamawa Government House was rendered vulnerable at the weekend, as the Police withdrew a large chunk of policemen attached to the seat of the government where the state governor, Admiral Murtala Nyako operates from. Indications emerged at the weekend that a top order had reduced the security operatives attached to the government of the state from 170 to 30 in the past few days.
You would be recalled that Nyako had in a memo addressed to the Northern Governors Forum accused Jonathan’s administration of carrying out alleged genocide in the north-east region of the federation.
But the Presidency, through, the President’s Senior Adviser on Public Matters, Dr. Doyin Okupe, responded swiftly, stating: “The content of Nyako’s letter exposed him as lacking a sense of history as well as incapable of rising above parochial sentiments”, an on-line news portal reports.
Okupe added: “The letter was extremely divisive and intentionally meant to incite one section of the country against the other. “Nyako’s action is a pathetic embarrassment to the Nigerian military, from where he derives his career antecedents,”.
An expanded security meeting presided over by President Jonathan last Wednesday had allegedly taken a swipe at the Adamawa state governor on his utterances, which it considered uncomplimentary to the efforts by the Federal Government to contain terrorism and insurgency in the country.
