Barring any last minute change of plan, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, may kiss his job goodbye tomorrow.
Impeccable sources told National Mirror yesterday that one of the key positions to be adopted during the party’s elders’ meeting holding tomorrow is for Tukur to relinquish his position for peace to reign in the party.
National Mirror exclusively gathered that the Friday’s meeting would hold at Akwa Ibom Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, in the morning.
The meeting was called by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to resolve the impasse in the party following the decision of former Vice- President Atiku Abubakar and six other governors to walk out of the PDP special convention held at the Eagle Square on Saturday, August 31.
At the meeting, the party’s elders will take a decision on Tukur.
“The consensus is that Tukur has to go for peace to return in PDP. So, we will agree on his fate. Surely, we will ask him to resign honourably from office. From there, we will ask the aggrieved governors and parties to return to PDP for further reconciliation,” one of the party’s elders told National Mirror.
