Mu’azu’s seat under threat as PDP Governors, Tukur seek his removal

For allegedly tampering with the delegates’ lists submitted from the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, congress elections held in some states last month, governors of those states who are angling for absolute control of the party structures are believed to have perfected plans to oust the PDP national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu.

Similarly, immediate past national chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, who resigned in January this year, is warming up to return to Wadata Plaza, as he is reported to have briefed his lawyers to challenge his resignation as the national chairman of the ruling PDP, claiming that he did not resign properly as the national chairman of the party.

Saturday PUNCH’s investigations on Thursday in Abuja showed that the governors were demanding that one of them should be given the party’s vice-presidential slot.

It was reliably gathered that their demand was premised on the indication that a former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) or ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar might get the presidential ticket.
