Embattled PDP boss may be removed tomorrow

Barring any last minute change of plan, the National
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur, may kiss his job goodbye tomorrow.
Impeccable sources told National Mirror yesterday
that one of the key positions to be adopted during the
party’s elders’ meeting holding tomorrow is for Tukur
to relinquish his position for peace to reign in the
party.
National Mirror exclusively gathered that the Friday’s
meeting would hold at Akwa Ibom Lodge in Asokoro,
Abuja, in the morning.
The meeting was called by ex-President Olusegun
Obasanjo to resolve the impasse in the party following
the decision of former Vice- President Atiku Abubakar
and six other governors to walk out of the PDP special
convention held at the Eagle Square on Saturday,
August 31.
At the meeting, the party’s elders will take a decision
on Tukur.
“The consensus is that Tukur has to go for peace to
return in PDP. So, we will agree on his fate. Surely,
we will ask him to resign honourably from office. From
there, we will ask the aggrieved governors and parties
to return to PDP for further reconciliation,” one of the
party’s elders told National Mirror.
