Bamanga Tukur’s Days As PDP Chairman Numbered, As 10 NWC Members Rise Up Against Him
The days of Bamanga Tukur as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may be numbered, as 10 members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) today disowned his actions concerning the running of the party in Adamawa, his home state.
The NWC has12 members, including Tukur himself, and it was he and the Deputy National Secretary of the party, that were absent at today’s emergency meeting of the NWC where the decision was taken.
In a statement following the meeting, the NWC said it was “surprised, shocked and embarrassed” to learn of purported ward, local government and state congresses said to be on going in Adamawa State, and that they were neither authorized by the NWC nor monitored and/or supervised by the National Secretariat.
“In the history of the PDP only the National Secretariat of the PDP conducts state congresses,” they said.
“Based upon the above therefore the NWC hereby declare the purported congresses null, void and of no effect whatsoever,” the NWC added in the statement, which was read by the Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Sama Jaja, who spoke to reporters in the company of the National Secretary, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola other national officers.
The actions of the 10 NWC members are said to be due to the determination of the governors to remove all the NWC members and replace them with caretaker committees.
“Let us all fasten our seat belts,” a political analyst told SaharaReporters upon learning of the latest developments, “because this signals a fresh round of turbulence within the PDP ahead of the 2015 national elections, which is just two years away.
“Recently, a wing of the party was disclaiming the party’s reviewed constitution, which was already in circulation. A few days ago, it was the PDP Youth Council that was blasting away at the president; now, it is a revolt within the NWC against the indolent and corrupt Tukur leadership, which has already been rejected by many of the governors.”
The following is the statement read by Dr. Jaja:
T
he emergency NWC decided to announce the following:
(1) The NWC in its 325th meeting of Wednesday 12th December 2012 had rescinded the dissolution of the PDP Adamawa State Executive.
(2) The NWC had earlier dissolved the Adamawa State Executive under Article 29(2)(b) wherein we acted on behalf of Article 31(2)(e) powers of the NEC. But it is instructive to note that the Ward and Local government executives of Adamawa State were never dissolved.
“In fact at its 314th meeting of 29th August 2012 the NWC had upheld the March 2012 ward and local government executives except for one LGA which was later ratified.
“(3) The NWC is therefore surprised, shocked and embarrassed to read in the Newspapers of the purported ward, local government and state congresses said to be on going in Adamawa State.
“(4) For the records, the National Working Committee, hereby dissociate the Party leadership from the purported congresses which were neither authorized by the NWC nor monitored and/or supervised by the National Secretariat.
“In the history of the PDP only the National Secretariat of the PDP conducts state congresses.
“Based upon the above therefore the NWC hereby declare the purported congresses null, void and of no effect whatsoever.
“Consequently we hereby declare that the only state executive committee constitutionally recognized by this Party is the Kaugama Executive lawfully elected in March 2012 and endorsed by the National Convention.

TUKUR AND JONATHAN
Please we all no they not peoples choice so what ever they do is part of the consequences of stalling
mandate
Who is Femi Kayode??
Femi Kayode is never sacred, he is a born thief and a core tribalist. All these 7o+ year olds are FAR BETTER than him. So if you want to talk about credible nigerians, Femi can never make the list and has no moral juridiction to call people names. Shame on that bastard who messed aviation sector up.
I just hope thee wranglings
I just hope thee wranglings will do away with the bad rubbish called PDP
Bamanga Tukur
He was commissioned by GEJ to perform miracle in the quest to remain in power forever and to check the party's major threat,Atiku Abubakar. The consequences can even be more terrible should Bamanga fail to put his home state in order.
PDP scuffle
we always know how to wriggle out of our problems but pls lets check it,we serious issues at hand.

THE END OF JONATHAN HAS COME!
It is not Bamanga Tukur's days that are numbered but Jonathan's.Since he (Tukur) has been imposed on PDP believers by Jonathan.
Nyako's Handiwork
Tukur's ouster is probably engineered by Gov. Nyako of Adamawa state. Both Tukur and Nyako are from the same state but like water and oil, they don't mix. I've met Mr. Nyako once, he appears to be a good man. I've never met Mr. Turkur, so can't say much about him.
DEMOCRACY?
atleast we are hearing pf ward, local govt and state congresses in PDP. It is because of this seeming democracy that makes PDP more rooted in the grassroots accross the country.
ACN and CPC may never rise above ethnic and cultic follower groups because they lack real contact with their people except to give money to Baales and traditional rulers who then mandates their ignorant folowers. PDP does this too but they at least now are showing that a party national chairman is not a dictator.
So the question is WHO WILL RESCUE US FROM PDP??????? ACN = NOT PREPARED. CPC = FAST BECOMING OFSHOOT OF NPC.
U ar very correct
U ar very correct
What Do You Expect?
What do you expect from a senile old man whose son is embroiled in oil subsidy scam? If he is not tamed, he will ruin this party that has inflicted only pain, sorrow & misery on Nigerians
Deri, SultanofSokoto and co
U guys wasted most of ur time in blaming Buhari at every opportunity without looking inwards the territory of your paymasters (PDP). It will soon be obvious where the true Bharams complicated by the deceit of Jonah to zoning are coming from. It is well known that Tukur is Jonah right hand man. The internal PDP crisis for tuzzle for Power is about to unravel...at the end it will be messy and show of shame...Deri and co pls look inward to help Goodluck because if people like u keep sleeping Jonah might kick Goodluck far away o...for once take off ur eyes off Buhari and chase after Atiku and co before it is too late
These rouges are wasting
These rouges are wasting their time. Their days at the helm of affairs of this unfortunate country are numbered. Nigeria has been worst of during their hegemonic regime of mindless corruption never heard of in the history of this country. I have always dreamed of where Nigeria ought to be if we had a leadership that is half satanic. It will take Nigeria more than 50 years to recover from the rape of the resouces of this country by a band of pdp thieves parading as leaders.
For yourselves know perfectly
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4
A DIVIDED HOUSE
Any house divided against itself will not stand. Well, we are already tired of PDP. It is the innermost weak point of a villain that do cause his tragic end.
2 meetings/monthly to pretend at "nation" building!
The PDP NWC held a 314th meeting? Obasanjo: 96 months; Yar Adua/Jonathan: 48 Months; Jonathan: 8 months for a total of 152 months of maladministration which comes to a mind-numbing 2+ meetings for EVERY MONTH that a party that has been at the helm during a period of the worst corruption in the country's history. What exactly do these people do at these meetings apart from firing anti-party activists who do not believe in the PDP doing "family" business?
Nigeria's 70+ year old vampires
There is nothing wrong with seeking public office at the age of 70. But the plethora of 70+ year old's in Nigeria's corridor of power is out of control.
Especially as these 70+ year old's have not contributed anything tangible to their motherland.
From 1960 until today, it has been take, take, take.
They have inserted their probosis into Nigeria's economy and sealed it with glue.
No wonder Femi Fani Kayode called them "blood sucking vampires".
This is what we call African
This is what we call African politics. U hardly ever see such crude methods of playing party politics in and around the stables of the advanced economies of the world-Very sad that PDP like CPC often have over ambitious crooks spoiling for a fight with the leadership of the party. Hardly can u see the Democratic party in the USA, have Clinton talk carelessly as OBJ often does in public. If the party has any problem in Adamawa state, why not show some level of maturity in the handling of the matter? Must everything be done to appease tinubu and buhari b4 the turn-coats in PDP, will be satisfied? The era of the West sponsoring coups in africa are over. So the idea of inviting the army to kill Jonah is nothing but wishful thinking. It will never happen-d best we can do is to go our separate ways-for now its the oil wells in d SS that are holding us together as a nation.
A MACABRE DANCE OR DANCE OF THE FOREST
IT IS BECOMING TUMULTOUS OR RANCOUROUS FOR BAMANGA. EITHER WAY; TUKUR, IS HEADING FOR THE CHOPS; DESIGNED AND FASHIONED TO DETHRONE CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE PDP, ZONED TO THE NORTH; AND ENTHRONE BOT CHAIRMANSHIP UNTO THE NORTH, THAT WAS NEVER ZONED TO THE NORTH, IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE GAPPY-TOOTHY FOX FROM MINNA IS SPINNING THAT WEB.
NWC OF PDP ON ADAMAWA
Is PDP really and truly a political or an agency of the Governors.Its unfortunate to read the press statement above from the NWC.Kugama or Nyako?who is fooling who,where were the NWC members all along when the Adamawa State Exco were dissolved?By Gods grace PDP is finished in the State and all other leaders of the party are expected to team up en mass and leave the party for Nyako.
did u mean PDP days are numbered ?
The Imam got burnt and you are asking about his beard.
PDP days are numbered and u are talking about Bamanga Tukur. I will advise Jonathan and his co rogues to build better equipped prisons now because that is where all of them would end up soon.
