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.

The renegade 6, or, r6, are all outgoing 2nd termers, and therefore, have no power of bargain. Their walkout had no effect on the mini convention, because their followers were too few. President Jonathan is more acceptable to Nigerians than Obasanjo, who is generally perceived as a wicked, heartless man. And Atiku is even worse. Let the r6 go and join hell-Rufai & other renegades in the APC.

@OP
For your mind. Keep dreaming.

It's like you dont know what you typed. ItLs not a must people like you comment. Just read and go.

By your summation, any politician that is against GEJ are all renegade. It should also be surmise that renegade politicians brought him to power. Where are we heading to in this country with such odious mentality?

Who cares.

One nigeria is the problem.

Definitely this is END TIME for Turkur

2moro ?...............i dont care about papa deceive pikin

If your arguement is anything to go by, then your conclusion is awfully flawed. Since they are all 2nd termers, that, as a matter of fact, makes them the more dangerous since they have nothing to lose.

PDP, can't u guys resolve simple impasse all this while? I dey laf o

To stop EFCC from investigating the numerous petitions against them is the major reason they r6 are forcing the President to acknowledge them as special. Not that they have any contributions to enhance Jona's widespread transformations. They MUST beg for mercy & forgiveness.

Never fight someone who has nothing at stake. These 2-time governors have upper hand because they can fight dirty and naked publicly. Since they are not strategizing on winning next election, it will be easy for them to destroy all Pigs Digging Pigs (PDP) votes and bury the party since the party will be dead before the next election. Are you calling me a Renegade too since I am not in support of the Pigs Digging Pigs (PDP) and the husband of your "Jesus-on-Earth"?

In my own opinion, Tukur's only problem in PDP is his loyalty to the President. Most members that are against the President's ambition in 2015 knows Tukur can deliver the mandate him, hence the clamour to remove him and replace with another person accordingly. I'm not a fan of Jonathan or PDP but it is glaring that if this matter is not curbed, it is capable of disintegrating PDP entirely. I still believe that the end of PDP is near than ever before.

Political observers are fully aware that Tukur is not a politician.He is a business man.He represents all the troubles bedeviling PDP. However, Jonathan must also understand that Tukur is Loyal to him and the North has to remove him to achieve their 2015 agenda...I am watchin in HD to see how it plays out

Bamanga Tukur to be removed tomorrow so what? Make i start to dey cry abi? Stupid newz to have made front page today. Talk about ASUU strike not PDP rivalry. Where are the end time Niggaz

Sorry if I don't sound current, but what grievances have these people listed against Tukur?

Despite this man's incompetency, he's nothing to lose.





He is one of the biggest mistakes PDP has ever made.

This was bound to happen sooner or later.the removal of tukur has always been the number 1 condition given by all aggrieved members before any negotiation could take place

Juan_De_Dios: Sorry if I don't sound current, but what grievances have these people listed against Tukur?

Tukur is Loyal to him(Jonathan) and the North has to remove him to achieve their 2015 agenda.

I hope this helps

the People creating a "new Pdp" knows as much that they cannot scratch PDP from joining a new party as no party has yet, the enormous power the party has. The best attack had to be what the did; create distractions like the distractions they are since they no longer had the level of influence they desire in the party. I only wish The President can ignore them as he marches on. They're just like attention seeking kids

u shld learn to ignore the half-baked self acclaimed educationist on NL, or u get dragged on into their abyssmal level!

If ur clueless Kindergarten Shoeless Fisherman can be begging this ppl u called "renegade" in order for peace to reign and ready to meet most of their demand, I totally conclude that u are brainless just like ur ingrate shoeless brother are Clueless to we Nigerians

Why are these apc people more worried than the FeeDeePee? Its clear to all that PDP is generally accepted as a national political party, in which every Nigerian has equal right to challenge other Nigerians, no matter your religion, social status, majority or minority ethnicity. APC belong to a particular religious group, and to some monopoly tribes. And APC leaders are tribalists and dictators. For these, among other reasons that shall be presented in 2015, Nigerians are generally going to vote massively for President Jonathan and his party.

Hmmm PDP
16 > 19
5 > 23 Änd now
6 > 21

and can you tell us where or when you heard or saw gej begging them?just asking .because the way you made ur comment ,you made it sound as if you were standing behind gej when he was begging them

nothing way person no go hear from nairaland..which one be r6

Sour news indeed!,we ve been hearing this since last year and the more the rumour the firmer Tukur holds to the position,Those clamouring for Tukur's removal are indirectly targeting President Jonathan's 2015 ambition.Even if Turkur go,Jonathan will certainly be the one to chose who will replace him,for now GEJ is in Kenya and Turkur's removal will not be plausible,until GEJ decides who will replace him.Atiku and Amaechi still have to wait
