The source said Mr Mamman has been quietly receiving treatment at a hospital in Abuja, which name was withheld to respect the former minister’s privacy”, the report said.
“Mr mamman, 63, was said to have been living at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja for more than three weeks on the bills of some powerful interests in the power sector, who were hoping he would still be in the office to be able to award lucrative contracts.
“He has been living permanently at Transcorp Hilton since early August,” our sources said. “His bills were being covered by elements in the power sector who were looking forward to more lucrative contracts before the bad news of his dismissal struck yesterday.”, the report said.
He also reportedly has plans to run for governor in Taraba by 2023.
