The source confirmed that Andy Uba called Uzodimma after Malami’s faux pas to express his anger that the Minister has “messed-up their plans by letting the cat out of the bag early. On his part, Governor Uzodimma said that Malami misintepreted his role by making the emergency rule call at the wrong time when Obiano had audience with President Buhari and had the opportunity to make Malami look stupid.
