President GoodLuck Jonathan has refuted the gossip which implied that the sack of nine Ministers had political undertones.

CEOAFRICA gathered this as explained by the Special adviser to President GoodLuck Jonathan on political matters, Ahmed Gulak that the decision to unseat the ministers was far from being connected with the current crises rocking the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

According to Gulak who expressed this view while inaugurating a 44 member Elders Committee, the GoodLuck Support Group (GSG), stated that the unity of the country has been the paramount beyond parochial interest of persons or group of individuals in the polity.

He illustrated the fact that it is in the president constitutional power to fire or retain ministers working for him, stating that  there it has nothing to do with the PDP misunderstanding and disagreement.

Gulak who is the national coordinator of the GSG noted that the PDP-led administration would not be intimidated by the presence of any viable opposition political party, charging the members of the committee to work assiduously to keep both the PDP and the country at peace.

He further  stressed that despite the fact that some people want to monopolized leadership, it is God that decides what he wants, adding that no human being is a partner to God.
