About 19 job seekers died in the stampede which the minister blamed on the applicants. The Minister said the people who died were impatient during the exercise, sparking outrage from many Nigerians.
Now the chips are now! Abba Moro is in “bad shape”, battling for his survival...
Moro is said to have been shattered by the situation. Some leaders from the Middle Belt, especially Plateau and Benue, have been contacted to reach out to the President’s friends with a view to pleading his case. A source told The Nation that: “Some emissaries from the Middle Belt have even trailed the President abroad to discuss Moro’s issue with him.
“They are demanding fair hearing for Moro before any action is taken. They are also pressurizing Moro to open up and release relevant information to the public. They said they want the President to give Moro a second chance because the minister’s recourse to a transparent process backfired last Saturday."
Jonathan is set to meet with his man, Senate President David Mark, before deciding Moro’s fate because the minister was nominated by Mark.
A source in the presidency said it is difficult to “overlook” the costly mistake no matter the political pressure.
According to findings, the President would have sanctioned the minister and others connected with the tragic recruitment exercise, but chose to respect the office of the Senate President, David Mark, by making security reports available to him that have indicted Abba Moro.
“Moro has the choice of toeing the honourable path of resigning or remaining in the cabinet to be sacked. But definitely, the game is up for Moro from whatever perspective you think of it. He is the accounting officer of the Ministry of Interior,” said a presidency source.
