2015: No automatic ticket for Jonathan, governors – Bamanga

National Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has ruled out the possibility of granting automatic ticket to President Jonathan and state governors elected under the PDP platform in 2015, saying the PDP belongs to the people and they are the one to decide what they want.

He also ruled out the possibility of the party intervening in the ongoing leadership tussle rocking the Nigerian Governors Forum, pointing out that there is nothing like Governors Forum in the PDP constitution.
He argued that the Forum is just like a social class formed as a result of freedom of association entrenched in the Nigerian constitution, therefore, they have the capacity to resolve their in-house problems.

Tukur stated this at his residence in Yola, shortly after arriving the state for the first time since the declaration of the state of emergency in Adamawa.
He assured Nigerians that the party will continue to intervene in any state where there is an internal wrangling within the party with a view to finding an amicable solution to the crises.

According to him, the PDP is a big family and in any big family there will always be the good, the bad and the ugly.
He expressed optimism that the party will not only overcome its challenges but will continue to earn the confidence and trust of Nigerians who he believes will vote for the party again in 2015 going by the numerous achievements it recorded since the return of democracy.
He said the opposition parties have nothing to offer.

The chairman further stressed that his mission in the PDP is to reconcile, reform and rebuild the party and so far his efforts have been yielding results as can be clearly seen in the return of so many personalities back to the party as recently witnessed in Nasarawa state as well as the return of former Governor Boni Haruna to the PDP.
He denied any rift with the Prof. Jerry Gana-led PDP convention committee as insinuated in some quarters.
Tukur described the latest show of shame in the Rivers state House of Assembly as a parliamentary affair and a culture in the legislative arm of government which is not only synonymous to Nigeria alone. He assured that the party will investigate the crisis and take necessary action

Fresh Air till 2050. Dat's all.
