PDP suspends Tukur over suit against party Chairman

By Ehi Ekhator, Naija Center News


The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has suspended a former PDP Chairman, Dr. Bamanga Tukur for attempting to change the leadership of the party without consulting and exploring the party internal mechanism of redress.


This was contained in a Statement at the PDP 395th meeting held in Abuja on Wedneday to review recent national developments as they affect the party.


Deliberated among other issues was the court case instituted against the National Chairman of the Party, Ahmed Adamu Mu’azu by the former National Chairman, Tukur.


The PDP described as unacceptable, Tukur’s attempt to stop the forthcoming National Convention to nominate the party’s presidential candiate as well as regularise the position of the National Chairman and other members of the National Working Committee.


The party said “The NWC hereby suspends Dr. Bamanga Tukur and Aliyu Abuba Gurin for one month and refers them to the National Disciplinary Committee for infringing on section 58(1)(a)( b)( h)( l) of the PDP Constitution 2012( as amended)”


Tukur had sued the current chairman, requesting the court to make him the legitimate chairman since Mu’azu is still an interim which was thrown out of court.
