The Nation
7 March 2011
Fresh facts emerged yesterday that there is pressure on some members of the Presidential Advisory Council(PAC) to quit the group following disagreement over the decision of President Goodluck Jonathan to run in the April election.
It was learnt that those who opposed Jonathan’s bid for the presidency may leave PAC after the April poll.
The PAC, which is headed by a former Minister of Defence, Gen. Theophillus Danjuma (rtd), was inaugurated on March 5, 2010.
It was raised by the President to advise his government on key policy issues and directions in view of the controversy that trailed Jonathan’s emergence as acting President and later as the nation’s number one leader.
But when the President offered to seek a fresh mandate in April, some members of the PAC, described as ‘young elements’, opposed his aspiration.
