PDP Chairman Tukur Has Resigned Days After Obasanjo Left The Party

Nigeria's leading political party, Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP is about to crumble days after former
President Olusegun Obasanjo left the party.
If the story making round is true, then the National
Chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur has
resigned.
Why PDP Chairman Bamanga Tukur Steps
Down
According to Presidency sources, the PDP chairman
was forced to resign by President Jonathan during a
short meeting he had with him.
As gathered, the President had reminded the
embattled chairman of a letter from the Independent
National Electoral Commission [INEC] stating that
the national executive council of the PDP was illegally
constituted. Mr. President told the embattled
Chairman that the letter can be recalled into play.
Tukur however refused to step down until he became
aware of the upcoming vote of no-confidence
meeting coming up on Thursday January 16th, 2014
against him.
To avert the vote of no confidence, Alhaji Bamanga
Tukur hurried a resignation letter – and dated his
resignation for January 15, 2014 – after the Muslim
holiday.
Femi Fani Kayode and Kayode Ogundamisi confirmed
Tukur's resignation on Facebook few hours ago:
"The national chairman of PDP Alhaji Bamangar
Tukur has resigned. This is a step in the right
direction. PDP clap for yourself" – Femi Fani Kayode
said on FB
"FLASH Tukur eats his own words! Resigns?
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
Malam Bamanga Tukur is reported to have submitted
his resignation letter to the PDP and the Presidency"
– Kayode O said via FB
PDP party is about to crumble.
Obasanjo's exit has caused a lot of confusion in the
party.
