Her failure to control the bias tendency of NTA concerning the general interest of the people of Nigeria
The NTA is:

Pro-PDP and bias against other political parties

Pro- muslim and bias against other religions. Majority of newscasters in NTA Innernational are muslim northern women dressed in Hijabs thus presenting Nigeria to the whole world as an islamic state.

Pro-northerners and biased against southerners. Majority of top posts go the people from the North.

Jingles for most of the programmes including national news are made in Hausa Music.

NTA is a national establishment and its conducts should reflect that

PoliticsRe: A Beg Who Exactly Are The Members Of This So Called Yar'dua Cabal? by DrKnow1(m): 12:01am On Jan 09, 2010
These are the people who feauture prominently in the attempt to see that Yar'Adua holds on to power at all cost, allegedly.

Turai Yar’Adua
For obvious reasons, she is one of those still keeping the ailing president in power. She appears gentle in appearance but in the eyes of political watchers, the First Lady is a strategist when it comes to power play and consolidation. Of course, she is not new to the corridors of power having been a First Lady in Katsina State when his husband was governor of the state. Feelers among sources to Sunday Sun indicate that she is adamant to her husband resigning his position. She is reportedly in control of the situation and still oversees what transpires in government through core loyalists of Yar’Adua’s administration. Sunday Sun learnt that as governor, when his husband was away for six months on a similar medical trip, she literally filled the vacuum in Katsina and feels that she could repeat the same feat in the present circumstance. Critical observers argue that for Turai, it is even more honourable for her husband to die as a president in case of the worst happening.

Before the last cabinet reshuffle, the media was awash with reports of how ministers desperate to retain their portfolios lobbied Turai to achieve their aim.
Many believe that the First Lady remained her husband’s confidant and influenced many of the decisions being taken even before he went for the latest medical treatment. It was gathered that Turai had become so influential in the Presidency to the extent that ministers and other top government appointees strive to be in her good books.
Political watchers argue that it is her love for power that made her give her daughter in marriage to prominent politicians. Yar’adua’s first daughter, Maryam, is married to Mr. Badamasi Kabir, a member of the House of Representatives representing Katsina Central while her daughter Zainab, is married to Kebbi State Governor, Usman Saidu Dakingari and another Nafisat, now married to Governor Isah Yuguda of Bauchi State.

Abba Sayyadi Ruma
The Minister of Agriculture and Water Resources, Dr. Abba Sayyadi Ruma is a known acolyte of the president. Born on March 13, 1962, he served as minister of state in the Federal Ministry of Education in 2005 under Mrs. Obiageli Ezekwesili and briefly as Minister of Education in 2007 when Ezekwesili left to take up a World Bank job.
President Yar’Adua appointed him minister of agriculture and water resources. Ruma, a kinsman of the president, is clearly one of the most powerful men in the villa. He uses his power and connection to the fullest.

When government, following a resolution of the Federal Executive Council, de-merged the ministries which the Obasanjo administration lobbed together in the restructuring exercise it carried out, Abba’s ministry could not be touched. That is why the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources remains not only key, but one of the largest ministries today.

He is believed to be one of the few men who could sway Yar’Adua’s opinion on any issue. His influence in the administration could be measured by the way his fellow ministers strive to secure his attention and support whenever they have any issue or memorandum requiring the president’s approval. All the changes made in the Yar’Adua administration were carried out with Ruma’s input and some of his colleagues owe their appointments to him.
Whenever any sensitive issue is to be thrashed out, it is the powerful click to which he belongs that handles it. Ruma does not feel perturbed in the face of several allegations of wrongdoings against him.

Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi
He is one of the president’s confidants. He was the director-general of Yar’Adua’s presidential campaign. Before his present post of chief economic adviser to the president, he had been the managing director and chief executive officer of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria and deputy chief of staff to the president.
Tanimu served as secretary to Katsina State government under Yar’Adua as governor. His influence in the administration and villa is not in doubt. At Federal Executive Council meetings, his contributions to issues are said to be highly respected by the president. A member of the council once said no issue can truly be said to have been thrashed out if Kurfi does not say so.
He is a member of the powerful click in the villa who influences key policy issues and the stand of government. The chief economic adviser and his kinsman Ruma are prominent among those whose consent must be secured as a prelude to the president’s approval of any given issue.

James Ibori
The former Delta State governor, Chief James Ibori is clearly the most visible friend of the president in the villa. Believed to be the biggest financier of Yar’Adua’s election in 2007, he appears to have a firm grip on the president. Apart from his role in the president’s election, Ibori is said to be quite close to Hajia Turai Yar’Adua, the First Lady. It is said that there is hardly anything he cannot push through in the administration so long as Turai is in agreement.
In the early days of the administration, Ibori tried to keep a distance. He perhaps felt that decision was not in his interest and even with the court cases, he made his hold on the president a public issue. He has since become a regular feature in the seat of power. Ministers interested in keeping their jobs defer to him.

He is not assigned any particular portfolio, at least officially, yet the former Delta governor is often seen in the villa clutching files bearing documents. Many of the key appointments in the administration are believed to have received his input and approval. One of such is the Principal Private Secretary to the President. Mr. David Edebvie, who occupies that office was Ibori’s commissioner of finance between 1999 and 2004. Whatever power Edebvie is said to wield in the villa is largely derived from Ibori.

Sani Bagiwa
Alhaji Sani Bagiwa is the special adviser on special duties to the president. A very quiet and humble man, he and the president have maintained close affinity since their childhood. The president ensures that Bagiwa is present at most crucial meetings.
His opinions and stand on issues are said to matter a lot to the president. He is one man who is reputed to have the power to get the president change his mind or decision on any issue. Example is the $55.3 million debt quarrel between the NNPC and the offshore company, Lutin Investment Limited which the president had ruled should be resolved.
Almost two weeks after he had given approval for debt owed by the NNPC be paid on the strong advice of the Minister of Petroleum and the Attorney General of the Federation, Batiwa asked the president to rescind the decision.

Yayale Ahmed
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Alhaji Yayale Ahmed is very well rooted in the Yar’Adua administration. He is not just the SGF, he is a close confidant of the president. He took over from the Ambassador Babagana Kingibe who was fired for being too ambitious and disloyal to the president. Before his appointment, Ahmed was the Minister of Defence. He is a trusted ally of the president. Given his position, there is hardly any key decision of government that does not receive his input. President Yar’Adua so trusts him that he is said to be blameless before him (the president). He welds so much influence in the seat of power that many see as the de facto second in command.

Michael Aondoakaa
Attorney General and Minster of Justice
From inception of this administration, there was no gainsaying that the Benue born Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) did not hide his unflinching support and loyalty for Yar’Adua. Even at the risk of going against the constitution, he has remained committed to the former Katsina governor. He is certainly among the crop of people still keeping Yar’Adua in office.

Defending Yar’Adua’s absence, he was once quoted as arguing that the president could exercise his powers anywhere and in whatever condition.
“Under the presidential system of government, the powers of the president are embedded in the person elected as the president. Wherever he is, he can exercise his powers as the president. If he is sick and that sickness does not affect his ability to exercise his powers, he can so exercise his powers on any issue affecting his country.
“The president can exercise his powers through his deputy and his cabinet ministers. I challenge any one to come out and say President Yar’Adua has not been exercising his powers” he said. Based on his support to Yar’Adua, he has remained influential in the administration.

Mohammed Abba-Aji.
Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters
From a less consequential position, he has imposed his influence on the administration especially since Yar’Adua left the country. Among political watchers, he is definitely one of those protecting the former Katsina governor from throwing in the towel. The calculation is that he is using the president’s absence to consolidate his relevance in the present administration.

Since Yar’Adua’s absence, Abba-Aji has appropriated the duty of the presidential spokesman and has always talked confidently on the president’s illness.
Talking once on the president’s health, he said,“What most people don’t know is that Yar’Adua will come back. When he was governor (in Katsina State) he was away for six months…and he did not only return to continue as governor, he went on to have a second term…and to contest the presidency of this country and win.
