Nigeria’s former Vice President and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, during the 2019 general elections, Atiku Abubakar on Friday, April 1, has sacked over forty-six staff of Gotel Communications, a media outfit owned by Atiku Abubakar.
Gotel Communication is a television and radio broadcast conglomerate transmitting from Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
The affected staff were handed their respective sack letters on Friday, being Workers Day.
It was signed by the General Manager, Mohammed El-Yakub.
A copy of the sack letter reads in parts, “The management has decided to discontinue your services with immediate effect.
“Consequently, please be informed that your entitlements including stipend lieu of the notice will be computed and posted into your account with immediate effect.”

The expatriates threatened to sue the company for breaching their contract terms.
