The Miniser of Defence, Aliyu Gusau on Wednesday, March 12, 2014 resigned from office, according to reports.
Gusau’s resignation comes barely a week old after his appointment on March 5, 2014 by President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to Sahara Reporters, The top echelon of the Nigerian military yesterday refused to have a joint meeting with the new Minister of Defense Aliyu Gusau and his deputy Musikilu Obanikoro, a situation that triggered the resignation by Mr. Gusau, himself a retired army general.
Upon his appointment, it was rumoured that the retired general accepted to serve in President Jonathan’s cabinet under the condition that the nation’s service chiefs and other security heads would be placed under his supervision.
Gusau is from Zamfara state and is a former National Security Adviser.
