The drama surrounding the fate of the chairman of the People’s
Democratic Party, Bamanga Tukur has come to an end. Saharareporters can
confirm that the embattled party chief has not only resigned but is
being prevented from attending the National Working Committee meeting of
the party currently going on inside the Aso Rock presidential villa in
Abuja.
Our source at the meeting said that the announcement of Tukur's
resignation will be made tomorrow after the meeting of the Executive
Council meeting.
Only two days ago, Mr. Tukur was daring President Goodluck Jonathan
to sack him if he could. He claimed that he was elected by a constituted
convention of the party, and only another convention could sack him.
The ruling party under Mr. Tukur has been going through internal
strife that led to a massive decamping of
party members to the
opposition All Progressive Congress, APC.
