National Dialogue Not Negotiable – Bamanga Tukur by ceo4eva: 1:02pm On Oct 18, 2013 |
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has described as hasty and unbalanced, commentaries from the opponents of the proposed national dialogue, saying that it is necessary if Nigerians must plan for their future. The chairman,who was in Yola for the Sallah festival, told Daily Sun that national dialogue was needed in a situation whereby the federating units feel that some teething issues should be tackled. The elder statesman advised Nigerians to rather avail themselves of the planned national conference, to discuss such issues that would afford them the opportunity to lay a solid future for the country, by allowing representatives of the people from the ward, local government, state to national levels to participate on the proposed national conference. According to him, every component of the nation will express their views on issues that are of national interest through their elective representatives. He said that the opponents of the proposed national dialogue,were not being patriotic and fair by trying to force Nigerians to believe that the national dialogue could disintegrate Nigeria. The elder statesman disagreed with the position of those opposing the national dialogue that it would create disunity in the country, stressing that the mischief makers were poised to create bad impression against the good intention of President Jonathan to lay a solid foundation for the future of the nation . “What do they really want? How can dialogue bring disunity. Any body who says dialogue can bring disunity really misses the point. The national dialogue should not be likened to war. Only war can bring disunity. War and dialogue don’t tally. It is better to jaw- jaw than war -war,” he said. On how best he has been able to coop with the crisis in the PDP,and still do his work as required,Tukur said this exprience as the national chairman, has not hinder him from performing the job challenges as they have rather made him to be more a determined to lead the party on his path to succeed ,maintaining that despite all odds from the opposition to change. According to him, “people like to continue the thing they are doing. It is normal. PDP has been in government for the past 14 getting to 15 years now. And to renew and keep deepening democracy there has to be change. The task of deepening democracy For reconciliation to take plac,Bamanga called on the aggrieved members of the party to embrace the new order of peace,equity and justice ,which could be attained without confrontation but change of attitude. source: http://sunnewsonline.com/new/politics/national-dialogue-negotiable-bamanga-tukur/
