Ebenezer Alabi said Tukur’s resignation was a sacrifice needed for the benefit and progress of the party especially now the 2015 election is drawing nearer.
"The resignation," he said, "will lessen aggrieved members who were on a mission the leave the party for opposition ones, and now they will stay and strategize."
Alabi said the decision was a welcome development embraced by ninety percent of party members especially those who attended the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja called by President Goodluck Jonathan.
