PDP ‘rebels’ and endangered ministers

With the determination of the Presidency to rein in recalcitrant members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who are believed to be opposed to the alleged second term ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan, the heat has now been turned on some ministers, who are known to be key allies of some ‘rebel’ PDP governors.

Sources disclosed that the ministers, who were nominated by the alleged ‘rebel’ governors, have allegedly been told in clear terms to ditch their states’ helmsmen or be fired from the cabinet. For the ministers who are ready to play ball, sources disclosed they will be given all the logistic support to provide a counter power base in their respective states to challenge the awesome powers of the governors.
