Nigerians have flayed former President of Liberal, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for condemning the suspension of Hadiza Bala-Usman as Managing Director (MD) of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA)
Ellen hadon Saturday said she was disheartened over the suspension of Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Hadiza Bala Usman.
Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari on May 7th approved a probe of the management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
The probe, recommended by the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi demanded an Administrative Panel of Inquiry to look into the activities of the NPA.
Buhari also ordered Hadiza Bala Usman to step aside while the investigation is on.
The Former president who described Hadiza is an accomplished leader and dedicated public servant, called for equal treatment and adherence to the rule of law during the probe.
”I am disheartened to hear about the suspension of Nigerian Ports Authority MD @hadizabalausman, who I have known to be an accomplished leader and dedicated public servant," she wrote on Twitter.
Nigerians on social media, however, mauled the former Liberian leader over her tweet.
They asked her to face her country's problems and challenges and leave Nigerians to address their own in their ways.
@rotilaw said, "The MD was appointed by the President and remains in office at his pleasure. That the President has removed her is within his authority. I seriously doubt if Madam Sirleaf who have brooked such intervention when she was President."

@akingbadegroup wrote, "Disheartening about the suspension of NPA Boss not about the incessant killing in Nigeria and kidnapping of girls school child if at all you want to sympathize with Nigeria in anyway, misplacement of priority."
For @grandmasta_01, the former Liberian President ought to be more concerned about the mindless killings in Nigeria.
"Ma, the mindless killings going on in Nigeria has not disheartened you for once, it's the Hadiza Usman's issue.
There is more to this, Ma. Kindly keep your relationship personal and not get dragged in the Naija style. It's not usually pleasant," he said.
@danleety wrote, "You never care to wait for the outcome of the panel, what if she's corrupt , and you are still backing her without in-depth knowledge."
Another used, @jacksonpbn said, "Please respect yourself and mind your business. Don't let us drag you on this lane and expose how you used your sons to loot Liberia!"
