Tukur is to leave PDP post, motion supported by 23 Governors

It was gathered from authoritative sources in both factions of the PDP that the decision on having Tukur leave the reins of the party had been mutually agreed on by governors on both sides.

Two governors from both factions confirmed the decision to Saturday Tribune on Friday but asked not to be named.

Tukur’s fate may be sealed at tomorrow’s meeting between President Goodluck Jonathan and governors of the Abubakar Baraje led faction at the presidential villa, Abuja.

According to the sources, President Jonathan’s inner caucus of friends had also impressed it on him “to let go” of Tukur in view of the “needless tension his actions and inactions were causing him and the polity

“He was told the plain truth that he needed a break from the tension in the polity generated by the crisis in his party. In particular, it was impressed on him that Tukur’s leadership of the party was doing more harm to the administration than good and he should hands off the issue of keeping Tukur at the helms of the PDP.

“From the body language of the president, he appeared to have agreed with the governors. Sunday’s meeting with the rebel governors is likely to advance that course of action. The question now is just when Tukur would go,” the source added. - Tribune
