This one came with a surprise! Sule Abba we know may not have survived the incoming government: that is part of our system; but for Jonathan to axe him even with few days left to his government is more than meet the eye! can some one please tell me why this one sack?
All the money given to abba for his men,for election purpose was diverted by abba sulaiman.
There is no proof or anything to show that money was given to Mr. Abba. So no need to speculate about such things
