Yusuf Suleiman, Minister of sports sacked

Alhaji Yusuf Suleiman, Minister of Sports has been fired. A statement issued by Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the President on media & publicity, said,
'President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has relieved the Minister of Sports, Alhaji Yusuf Suleiman of his post with immediate effect to afford him the opportunity to focus fully on the pursuit of his declared political ambition'.

'President Jonathan thanks Alhaji Suleiman for his services to the nation and wishes him success in his future endeavours'.
Recall that earlier in the year, President Goodluck Jonathan redeployed Alhaji Yusuf Suleiman from the ministry of Transport to ministry of sports, over disagreement he had with the managing director of NiMASA, who is alleged to be a front for Tompolo.
