PDP CRISIS: President Jonathan Confirms Tukurs Resignation
Its been a very busy day for President Goodluck Jonathan. After recently firing his military chiefs, he has reportedly now accepted the resignation of PDP chairman Bamanga Tukur.
The president handed over Mr. Tukur’s resignation letter to the National Secretary of the party, Wale Oladipo, at the ongoing National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting in Abuja.
“He (Mr. Tukur) is not guilty of any offence and I am going to give him an assignment that is tougher than PDP chairman,” the president said.

The motion was seconded by the Deputy Senate Leader, Abdul Ningi, and was accepted by the NEC.
