“Nyako is a lost sheep. He is dead politically” – Presidency

The Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak has referred to the Adamawa State as a lost sheep who is dead politically.

The tough words came in response to Nyako’s insistence that President Goodluck Jonathan indeed signed a one-term agreement.

Gulak who spoke to journalists from PUNCH stated, “We have finished with the issue of the alleged single term agreement long time ago. I have talked about it many times and the President himself has come out to speak on it to the effect that there is no such agreement anywhere. I prefer we talk about something new. I also prefer we talk with people who are serious.”

He added, “Nyako is a lost sheep. He does not know where he is at the moment. His statement is nothing but a ranting of a man who is dead politically.”

In response to Gulak, Governor Nyako’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, Ahmad Sajoh, said “Gulak never had a political life. It’s a pity that it is a person like him  that  is speaking on behalf of the President.

“This man lacks values; he is without honour. Governor Nyako has been upright in his personal and official dealings and he will remain so.”

Governor Nyako had earlier said that President Jonathan had signed the agreement in 2011 and it was in the custody of Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu.

He said, “The Niger State governor has the agreement. We want to deal with people with honour, not people who want to drag us into civil war because of impunity, because of lawlessness, because of not fulfilling their pledges that will only take us to civil war.

“Leaders must be honest with their colleagues and the greater society.  I have my craw craw (rashes) from the first civil war and if there is a need to develop another craw, craw in another civil war, I will stand by.”
