PDP NATIONAL CHAIRMAN FINNALY BOWS OUT

Alhaji Bamanga Tukur

Finally the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has resigned.
A senior member of the divided National Working Committee of the party, who spoke to Masquerade234 said President Goodluck Jonathan will inform the meeting of the National Caucus of the party tonight in Abuja about the development.

With the resignation, Tukur escapes suspension from the party by the members of the NWC if he had refused to resign.

However one intriguing aspect of all of this playing out in PDP is the fact that the first lady Patience Jonathan is said to be scheming seriously to install a successor to Bamanga Tukur, a development which has not gone down well with party members who accuse the first lady of been to deep in the scheme of things under her husband President Jonathan.

Masquerade234 gather that the First Lady is rooting for the appointment of the Minister of Transport, Sen. Idris Umar as the new National Chairman of the Party, a move most of the PDP governors are resisting.
