The
Peoples Democratic Party's National Working Committee has suspended its immediate
past Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur. In a statement released
this yesterday, Alhaji Tukur was suspended for taking the party
to court without 'exhausting the internal redress
avenues'.
Mr. Tukur had recently dragged the party and its current
chairman Adamu Mu'azu to court, asking the court to declare his
resignation as the party chairman in January null and void. Read the statement after the cut...
The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic (PDP) at its
395th meeting held yesterday, December 3, 2014 reviewed recent national
developments as they affect the party.
Among others, the NWC deliberated on the court case instituted against
the National Chairman of the Party, Ahmed Adamu Mu'azu by the former
National Chairman, Dr. Bamanga Tukur.
The NWC reasoned that for instituting a claim and counter claim in suit
FHC/ABJ /821/2014; Gurin vs PDP & 3 others without first exploring
and exhausting the party's internal mechanism of redress and for
attempting to stop the forthcoming National Convention to nominate the
party's presidential candidate as well as regularize the position of the
National Chairman and other members of the National Working Committee
is unacceptable.
The NWC hereby suspends Dr. Bamanga Tukur and Aliyu Abuba Gurin for one
month and refers them to the National Disciplinary Committee for
infringing on section 58(1)(a)( b)( h)( l) of the PDP Constitution 2012(
as amended)
Barr. Victor Kwon
National Legal Adviser
