Mike Omeri, the controversial Director of Research and Strategy at the Goodluck/Sambo campaign, has been "suspended."

Mr. Omeri had been seconded to the post from the office of Nigeria's Senate president, David Mark, to "assist" the executive branch, an action that revealed a dangerous level of collusion between both arms of the government.

Mr. Omeri was an instant success in terms of his ability to think outside the law.  Last December 25, SaharaReporters exposed the existence of a "rigging manual" he had authored to guarantee victory at the presidential primaries for Jonathan. The document defined how the Jonathan campaign could deploy a scorched earth political policy that would take advantage of the police and other security agencies, as well as undermine members of the opposition, pro-democracy NGOs, religious leaders and electoral officials.

Omeri's fall from his privileged position seems related to one of Jonathan's weakest spots: his wife's money-laundering issues that he has found difficult to resolve.  A few days ago, Omeri issued a public statement on the matter accusing the CPC candidate, Muhammamad Buhari and ACN candidate, Nuhu Ribadu, of hypocrisy over their anti-corruption stance.  That has caused Jonathan untold hardship as the candidates came out swinging against him.  Yesterday, presidential spokesman Ima Niboro said Omeri's statement had been unauthorized, calling it "an unfortunate statement from the PDP presidential campaign office which was certainly not authorized by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan."

Omeri is the second casualty at the faltering Jonathan campaign.  Last month, Sully Abu, a veteran journalist, was relieved of his position as Director of Media and Publicity.  Mr.Abu has now been replaced by another former journalist, Ide Eguabor, formerly of the National Interest newspaper.

Mrs. Jonathan has two cases of money-laundering at the EFCC arising in August and September 2006.  Although the former EFCC chairman and now ACN presidential candidate, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, has reversed previous statements he made about Mrs. Jonathan's involvement, the EFCC never issued a statement about its investigation of either case.  There are N104 million and $13.5 million involved, and the EFCC had obtained court authorization to freeze them.

Mr. Omeri is required to answer to a formal query issued by the campaign. The query promises stiffer penalty should his response fail to convince his superiors.

Contacted by SaharaReporters, Omeri said he was not yet aware of the disciplinary actions against him, claiming he was out of the office.

funny.

where is the link?

Why should staff be transferred from GEJ campaign team to the executive arm without TUPE? Abi are they one and the same organisation?

Mike Omeri, by his spurious utterances in the direction of Buhari unwittingly opened up a subject GEJ has a phobia of - corruption.

Chemical Alli is gone! His effort was like bringing sand to the beach.

It takes a PhD fool to know a fool in d making. Aint amazed u r dis efficient in sporting out potential fools may be as a result of years of constant exhibition of foolishness and stupidity has made u dis perfect in d act. Ode

Jonathan's campaign reminds me of John Mcain campaign against Obama. They spent majority of their time managing one blunder and gaff after another.

Mrs Jonathan being Sarah Palin everytime she opens her mouth, everybody in the campaign organisation will be in panic.

Who will forget John Mcain suspending his campaign in oder to go to Washington to fix the U.S economy, forgetiing that U.S still has a president, then he forgot that a president if elected can mult task. Jonathan doing all he  could to avoid a debate with fellow candidates but find the time to be interviewed for hours by a local musician.

If this election is in the Western world, Jonathan must have kiss this election goodbye by now because of so many disorganisation in his camp, despite the state resources and machinery at his disposal. But this is Nigeria.

U jst proved me right. Thanks PROF IN FOOLISHNESS

Gej's campaign has been devoid of the name calling and mudslinging that has characterized the campaign of his opponents right from the infamous days of Atiku to the present gang of finger pointers.
Right from the outset, Gej had pointed the direction he's campaign would go when he said 'I have no enemies to fight'. Omeri was way out of line to have tampered with the one thing that had stood Gej's campaign out from the whole bunch - Decorum and therefor deserved to go. credit to Gej, he's kicked him out. The man deserves praise and nothing less, but trust NL's online mongrels to start yapping about what he didnt do instead of appreciating what he's done.

One down, more to go!

Now you really want to rewrite history happening in our very own eyes or what? When Omeri put out his mudsling, people like you were enjoying it , Buhari being associated with corruption and I am sure Jonathan read it like ou and I and enjoyed too because that news was in the dormain for days.
But they never realise that Buhari has a clever man in Odumakin and when he hit back with a thunder that jolted Jonathan and his campaign, it was then that they came out public to deny Omeri and now sacrificed him to save face.

If they were unaware of what Omeri is doing, when the informtion he released about his opponent was in the news for many days, what sort of president will he make that his adviser will jump over him and put such a thing out without his consent?. He didn't come out of this looking good as a leader except this is Nigeria.

Omeri should have been instantly sacked and they apologised to the other candidates but they waited for days.Medication after dead. Some of you think we were born yesterday.

lol. Mr hunter, did you catch any grasscutters today?
I know its not easy living in the bush without having your bath, believe me, it shows each time you post on NL.

When is Beaf getting the boot? My only surprise is that it took GEJ this long to send Chemical Alli packing.
Ooops. . .I forgot that the clueless man GEJ is a slow poke who needs several days to think such a decision through.

@Bolded. What Exactly do u refer to as a “Thunder” here? This senseless bit of thrash has been circulating in idiotic circles for so long that its laughable that this is all the BB team can come up with. Gej is a man of Dignity and has only done what’s right, late or not.

Dis Guy:


such as?

Exactly why I thot we had Mongrels online!

sacrifice a "pawn" to get the "queen", nice manoeuvre!!! i bet he was not suspended because of his comment but because of some in-house deals that went sour

^^^ And how much is your bet worth? 2 cents i guess.

I know that I made the right choice, when I chose Jonathan as the best among the lot.

Thanks Mr. President, you are truelly a leader and we are doing our part to see that you shall lead Nigeria.

I really couldn't place you before but now I know why. So you are pro-jonathan

^^^And just about as numbskull as they come!

Applying the medication after a rotten death. Only a dumb President would concoct such - none other than Clueless Odeski Jonathief.

Obama did same.

GEJ has done the right things but this guy can still cause more issues for DPD watch out part 2

U need to understand dt a competent leaders makes gud decisions at an appropriate & adequte time. This decision is not a timely one. It's late. GEJ needs 2 be more proactive in decision making.

we all no the plans of pdp.cast your vote wisely
