"Jonathan has ready consulted and concluded with his inner circle to sack him before Nnaji was summoned to the Villa over issues of serious infringement of the law by the now former minister."
The source told
News Nigeria that Mr President decided to sack Prof Nnaji because he bided for some Distribution Company, despite the Code of Ethics of the Privatisation Process, which bars staff of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) and members of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) from buying shares in companies being privatised.
The said illegal participation by companies owned by Prof Nnaji in the privatisation process as well as some alleged insider abuse had compelled the NCP to cancel the technical bid for Afam and Enugu.
But in his reaction to the development, Prof Nnaji claimed that there have been several efforts to bring im down since his appointment as Minister of Power.
“It is a huge conspiracy to scuttle the programme, but rather than drag the president and the programme down, I decided to tender my resignation,” the former minister claimed.
