I Have Not Resigned-Aliyu Gusau
Defence minister, Aliyu Gusau, has denied widespread reports of his resignation Wednesday.They had been wide spread reports that the newly sworn in Minister for Defence had resigned from President Jonathan's cabinet but the man himself has come out to deny such reports.
Mr. Gusau said reports of his leaving office were untrue. “No I did not,” he said in a brief text message response to a PREMIUM TIMES’ inquiry asking if he had resigned.
A spokesperson for President Goodluck Jonathan, Reuben Abati, said reports that Mr. Gusau submitted his resignation were false.
“It is not true, Mr. Abati told PREMIUM TIMES during a brief telephone interview Wednesday afternoon.
He said Mr. Gusau’s absence at the weekly federal cabinet meeting, a development cited as the most ostensible indication the minister had quit the cabinet – was due to illness.
“He has flu,” Mr. Abati said.
