Govt officials advised not to say ‘change’ in public

Dalung, who was reacting to the recent removal of the chairman of Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P), General Martin Luther Agwai (rtd) by President Goodluck Jonathan allegedly for speaking on the inevitability of change during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s 78th birthday, said the word ‘change’ should only be used where APC exists.
“All government officials should mind the way they say ‘change.’ If there is anything they see that is changing, they should say something different, otherwise, they will lose their jobs because the government is desperate.”
The NEF member said Jonathan’s decision to sack Agwai whom he described as an upright and frank Nigerian, showed that the government was petty.
