The on-going plot to ensure the return of
erstwhile National Chairman of the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bamanga
Tukur, to his former position, has
continued to show prospect of success by
the day, according to findings by the
Sunday Independent .
Authoritative information available to this
paper mid last week, reveals that those
PDP chieftains plotting Tukur’s return and
their external allies, are presently making a
huge success in the scheme. Since his
removal as chairman in August last year,
he was chairman of the Nigerian Railway
Corporation (NRC) and a Special
Ambassador to the government of the
federation.
A reliable source close to Tukur told
Sunday Independent on Thursday last
week that the decision to bring back the
former PDP National Chairman to his job
was that of some influential governors and
their allies within the party and presidency.
This paper was also hinted that the
powerful pro-Tukur group has been
inundating President Goodluck Jonathan
with tales of how the incumbent National
Chairman, Adamu Muazu, has proved so
far “to be unreliable and innately ambitious
to become the next Vice President to
President Jonathan in the 2015 elections”.
The President, Sunday Independent was
also told, was made to believe by the
Tukur group, that he (Jonathan) may suffer
a ‘political betrayal’ in the hands of
Muazu, if the prospect of his alleged
rumoured ambition to edge out Vice
President Namadi Sambo from his job and
clinch the VP’s seat after the forthcoming
PDP Presidential primary, in which
Jonathan is expected to emerge flagbearer,
does not favour him.
The group, we learnt, also told Jonathan in
a bid to convince him to dump Muazu for
Tukur, that it is only the former PDP boss
whose loyalty can be vouched for, to
selflessly and with unflinching
commitment, prosecute the President’s
2015 campaign project, especially in the
North, where opposition to Jonathan’s
presidency is very robust.
Besides, the group, which is currently
amorphous, issaid to have canvassed
before the president the sentiment that
Tukur was pushed out of his job without
justification and primarily because of his
alleged “strong support and loyalty to the
president”.
Sunday Independent also gathered from
the source within the pro-Tukur group, that
Tukur’s backers are so strongly and
skillfully dedicated to their plans that they
are fast gaining the sympathy of the
Presidency and the people that matter in
the PDP.
The source said: “Those who are watching
the whole play-out, probably may be
thinking that we are day-dreaming. But, l
can tell you that by the time we finish our
game plan, Bamanga Tukur will return to
his seat. Remember that the party’s
national convention will soon come.
“Anything can happen. This is politics.
What you see today is not what you see
tomorrow. We are winning more converts
into our fold. We have court cases to that
effect.
“We are putting everything into our plans.
We must succeed because Bamanga Tukur
was unjustly treated. He suffered
humiliation and untold harassments for the
sake of President Jonathan.
“From what is going on in PDP, you can
see that Tukur ought not to have been
removed.
“Those who fought against him have been
taken care of somehow, so the coast is
now clear for him to return to his job.
“It was not even the wish of Mr. President
that Tukur should go, but he had to allow
Tukur’s opponents to have their way in the
interim so that there can be relative peace
in the party and also respite for the
president himself.
“Don’t also forget that Tukur worked well
with the president and his vice. He had no
ambition to become anything. So, he was
not a threat to anybody at all”.
However, Sunday Independent was
unable to confirm as at press time
Jonathan’s disposition to the
representation allegedly made to him by
the pro-Bamanga Tukur group.
It was nevertheless learnt that there would
be a scheduled meeting between Tukur
and Muazu later in the week.
The need for the meeting and what issue
both men will discuss, was not known to
Sunday Independent as at weekend.
