The Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, on Sunday confirmed that he would quit the Federal Executive Council on October 20.
He said his decision to cease to be a minister is to allow him pursue his ambition of becoming the governor of Nassarawa State in 2015.
He spoke during a thanksgiving service he organised at St. Patrick’s Catholic Parish, Akwanga.
The Punch had reported exclusively on September 26 that at least, six ministers may quit President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet in October as preparations for the 2015 general elections peak.
In the report, Maku was listed among ministers who are expected to resign their appointments in order to pursue their governorship ambitions on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Confirming the report, Maku said by October 20, all members of the FEC who are interested in pursuing their ambitions would step down.
He said he had made up his mind to sacrifice the comfort of the office he currently holds in order to join his people in the wilderness.

Ok

Good riddance... (Mtchew).
1st day, front page already!!! Gr8 days ahead.

That talkative.

Asin eh.. The man can talk.. Love his style though.. Didn't even know he is a christian ..


For those quoting me***
.. I first said that I love his style although I thought he was a Muslim.. Meaning that I had in mind that he is a Muslim and still love his style..
It was after reading this that I learnt he is a
Christian.. I did not know before. So don't
get me wrong...

Maku! That PARROT and good for nothing liar.

what is breaking in this news? we had seen it coming.

If we are to judge from his antecedents as info minister, then his campaign promises will be 90percent lies!

Good riddance ...he just confirmed that we are all in wilderness under this PDP led federal government.

Ok

Keneking:

Lol...true talk sha

Ok

this ain't news at all
Cos it'd earlier been envisaged
He should be thanking GEJ for bringing him into limelight
Before now, no one knew who MAKU was
If not for the senatorial ambition of the late Prof. Dora Akunyili
He would have been in dudgeon and probably unknown
But make I ask oooo
Why do all this one time unknown ministers always think appointing someone in a ministerial position an acceptance to the public?
All of them wan be governor because Dem tink say they re now popular eg. Caleb olubolade frm police affairs minister

Juzt don't know y I like that dude

Labaran maku the talkative people like him are not supposed to be governors because they would spend all the time they suppose to use to develop and transform the state to talk.

Praise the Lord! Better a state than a national disaster!

Who be this one , Maku kó Maji ni

Sacrifice ke? Widerness Ni? Decievers

OK. Very good

.

He should stop making it appear as though he wishes to leave at that time. It is a presidential directive that all cabinet members who are interested in elections quit on or before that day.

Let him be prepared to explain to the people of Nassarawa what he meant when he said APC members are like Fulani normads. His ambition was toast even before he starts campaign.

I Wish him all the best.
The greatest liar of all time, second only to Lai Mohammed.

Labaran Maku suddenly tuned down his lying rate around mid last year and he handed over to Doyin Okupe.

The Way TANKO Go Floor This Lying Parrot, He Go Suffer Double Loss

He's a great guy, had met him personally during my nysc days. I think he will win, he was nce a deputy governor. Great guy.

U better stay in d bright side. Coz u can't survive here in d wilderness

ok

The game is on soon and very soon, the wheat will be garnered d tares willowed

Before nko?.

Why should this surprise anyone.

No be naija we dey?.

"Nigerian politicians" following the same pattern of useless and meaningless rulership since 1999.

good for him

Make I reload again maybe those space bookers will don come up with their opinions
