There are strong indications in the presidency last night that the Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan may sack the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim as soon as he returns from his Africa-EU summits in Brussels, Belgium.
Sources confirmed that the SGF issue has been on the table of Mr. President for quite very long .
Sources added that his possible replacement are between the trio of Presidential Adviser on Inter-Party Relations and former Senator, Chief Ben Obi, former Senate President, Dr. Ken Nnamani and former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi.
His lack of political relevancy to the president ambition at critical periods like this that the 2015 general elections are drawing close.
The former senate president was fully aware of the move and intention of president Jonathan to sack him. Sources added that he has since being making some move to re secure his Job and his position with the president.
His sacking seems inevitable base on the reasons alluded for his removal. He was grossly alleged of not effectively coordinating activities in the presidency as Head of its secretariat. Our source further confirmed that with 2015 elections drawing close, president Jonathan needs an SGF who will rally the support of Ibos peoples and other Nigerians for his re-election, stressing that, that informed the new choices to either go for Ben Obi (whose nomination is being backed by the Minister of Defence, Gen. Aliyu Gusau, Ken Nnamani or Peter Obi.
Others include his alleged lack of support from fellow Ibos, his frequent slumber at crucial state functions (he sleeps always in public functions), as well as the shabby manner the SGF handled the compilation of nominees for the ongoing National Conference, resulting in allegations by several groups that names submitted by them were manipulated by the office of the SGF.
Sources disclosed that his kinsmen have lost the interest in him and have consequently write president Jonathan demanding for his replacement.
SGF was also alleged of incompetency in the discharge of his responsibilities.
