President Goodluck Jonathan, Vice President Namadi Sambo
and governors elected on the platform of the Peoples
Democratic party, PDP held that the National chairman of the
party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur will be dropped in March next
year during the mid term convention.
Vanguard gathered that the governors since the election of
Tukur along side other members of the National Working
Committee, NWC have been calling for the sack of Bamanga
Tukur against the backdrop that his manner of administration
never rallied with the governors, just as the governors were
said have again demanded for his removal.
At the Sunday night meeting, a source told Vanguard that the
PDP governors loyal to President Goodluck Jonathan frowned
at the attitude of the national chairman of the party which they
noted has inflamed negative passion rather than calm frayed
nerves as well as overheated the polity.
It was also gathered that a former deputy national chairman of
the party and now a governor of Katsina State from North
West, Ibrahim Shema; Isa Yuguda of Bauchi; Seriake Dickson
of Bayelsa; Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta; Godswill Akpabio
of Akwa Ibom; Liyel Imoke of Cross River and Jonah Jang of
plateau state who were at the meeting, were said to have told
the President and Vice President Sambo that the move to ask
Tukur to go at the special convention next year was the only
panacea to lingering political quagmire in PDP. Gabriel
Suswan of Benue state was absent as he was said to be out of
the country.
More details soon
