The recent sack of Ahmed Gulak, President Goodluck Jonathan’s political adviser was received with shock as he was believed to be one of the president’s most loyal advisers.

However, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Adamu Mu’azu has revealed that Gulak was sacked due to his unsavoury character traits.

The PDP chairman is said to have stated yesterday that the former adviser to the president on political matters was sacked due to his arrogance and his irrational disposition.

Mu’azu declared this in Abuja during a meeting with some members of the Akwa Ibom PDP executive committee.

The Nation reports:

The party chair said he had agreed with the President that there would be no room for arrogant officials in the cabinet, adding that they must remain focused and committed to retain their positions.

Gulak was sacked on Tuesday without the Presidency stating reasons for the action. Gulak was in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, last week to inaugurate the Goodluck Support Group (GSG) with a faction of the PDP.

Governor Godswill Akpabio objected to Gulak’s action, saying he was not informed of the visit by the ex-presidential aide. The governor also protested that Gulak met with party chieftains who were opposed to his administration.

He urged the President to punish Gulak.
