Even the police force is insecure

Sack and more sack every now and then

While Mbu J Mbu still has a Job! ,

Nigeria I hail thee.

According to the book of TANoids, chapter 6, verse 2015, the ex-IGP deserves the sack for not utilising the state apparatus at his disposal to achieve the needed "objective" of his benefactor/employer...


On another note, Mallam Tambuwal is gonna be balling in sokoto Govt house come May 29th ......


#diarisgodu ooo

. . . . . . . . .Suleiman was bound to go anyway . . . . . . . . . . . .the real victim here is Solomon Arase, Mr Jona has effectively schemed him out of the running for substantive IG . . . . . . . .GMB will simply sack this new puppet and all the other political puppets (service chiefs) come may 29 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Jonadunce, your fangs are blunt . . . . . . . . . . . .Arase is simply coming in to prepare hand over notes

Jonathan is still the President till May 29.

Heard he was sacked for playing neutral during the Presidential election. Why Jonathan should not be probed after handing over is what APC will hav to explain to Nigerians.

lol so losing the election actually gave this man small sense? Since they have been telling you to sack this dude

Clean up d mess b4 d boss comes inn

Ha jona, we taught you were a hero of Nigeria Democracy. With this you just show whom you truely are.
Making front page atlast.

Great...even if he did not, President Muhammadu Buhari would have done the needful.
Anyway, was he confirmed in the first instance?
Minimah and Petroluem Minister are next ..watch this space

Hmmm....what goes around comes around

I have no sympathy for him......

Suleiman rode the tiger and he ended up in its belly.

He should look on the good side.....now he will learn how not usurp the court of law's authority with respect to interpretation of the law

Junk man that referred to the speaker as "one Alhaji Tambuwal"

He too has now become "one Mr Suleiman"

He should divorce his wife as well. She's the worst thing that ever happened to his political career.

Mr clueless

. . . . . . . . . .somebody should remind the dunce that Jega is still there . . . . . . .and Muazu

congratz abba.

Issorite

Reason for his sacking. He should have been sacked since tambuwal saga but he was doing the bidding of Mr president then.

Oga Jona na still oga, at least till may 28th.
You do anyhow, you see anyhow.
Congrats Oga solo.

This is serious.

Just ed what Sahara reporters said regarding the refusal of the policemen stationed at the ICC to allow Orubebe and his thugs cause confusion.

I also learnt that all this while, the IGP has been working for APC covertly and I think gej just discovered.

Too late.

Must be connected to the concluded elections.

He probably played a fast one with some power brokers against the presidency.
