THE REASON WHY JOY EMORDI WAS SACKED. NOR BE ME TALK AM O, NA VANGUARD NEWSPAPERS. AND THEY SAY NIGERIA IS BROKE. THEY SAY THEY NEED NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TO LEGISLATE BEFORE THEY CAN ANSWER ASUU. WHERE IS THIS MONEY COMING FROM? READ THIS.... Presidential sources hinted the media that Jonathan was particularly irked by the show of shame that erupted on the floor of the House of Representatives earlier in the week as a result of the face off between his supporters and opponents in the PDP, which broke into two last month. There have been reports that a fat sum of money, which was meant to be disbursed to sympathetic lawmakers was not properly distributed thereby infuriating those who made the money available. Some lawmakers were said to have receive a paltry $25,000 instead of $100,000 said to have been earmarked for them. The wrong application of the money is said to have been partly responsible for the free-for-all on the floor of the House of Representatives during the week. The source said that Jonathan was compelled to fire his Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters, Sen. Joy Emordi, because of her perceived weakness and inability to influence the lawmakers in his favour. The Presidency is said to have complained that Emordi had not been able to exert her position on the legislature and attract the requisite respect and support from majority of the members for Jonathan since her engagement about two years ago. Presidential strategists pondered why the ‘opponents’ of the President appeared to be gaining more attention in the NASS in spite of the position of Emordi and hordes of other officials working for the President.
