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.
