Things Falling Apart Between TAN Coordinator, Ifeanyi Ubah & President Goodluck Jonathan

…how hired supporters, refusal to pay mess caused trouble for Capital Oil Boss

Things are falling apart between Mr Ifeanyi Ubah the main coordinator of Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria- TAN- and the man the group is shrilly campaigning for his re election, President Goodluck Jonathan.

Sources confirmed the situation is said to be such that if not for the need to maintain the semblance of a united front in the president’s ranks – with election so close by, Ubah and his TAN promoters would have been officially given the boot.

Information pieced together by societynowng.com revealed the cause of the President’s disaffection with Ubah and his fellow TAN administrators has root in creating credibility problems for their candidate.

‘They created more controversies than mileage’ a source revealed.

Informants disclosed a checklist by Mr Jonathan’s inner caucus convinced him to order a tone down of TAN’s activities, and especially give it a bit of distance.

Same treatment was recommended and accorded the main promoter, Mr Ifeanyi Ubah.

‘That is the main reason why the group was no where to be seen on it’s candidate big day, the day the People’s Democratic Party made Mr Jonathan flag bearer again’

The immediate cause of this development is adjudged the huge mess that trailed the President official declaration for second term based on the activities of TAN.

Hired supporters from far and wide had held the Transformation Agenda of Nigeria’s officials- including Mr Ubah – hostage for hours over refusal to pay agreed fees.

The rancour between the rented crowd and their hirers reportedly started before the end of the President’s declaration ceremony.

Details of the situation which later turned ugly and a feast for media outlet was said to have greatly bothered the president and his inner caucus handlers.

Some of the hired supporters that came from as far as Anambra state to Abuja, and spent 3days drumming support for the event, where paid N5000 (Five thousand naira) as against the promised N40,000 (Forty five thousand naira).

The amount was later increased to N10,000 (Ten thousand naira) after much agitation with the TAN officials squirreling underground, leaving other hireling to handle the unpleasant task.
