PDP Crises: President Asks Tukur, Other NWC Members to Resign

 Alhaji Bamanga Tukur

The crises in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) came to a head Monday when the committee set up by President Goodluck Jonathan to resolve the spiralling crises in the party demanded the immediate resignation of the party's National Working Committee (NWC) members led by the party’s National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur. The decision was taken to “save the party from imminent collapse”.

The directive to Tukur and other NWC members to step down came on the heels of the decision to lift the suspension slammed on the Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko, by the PDP for insubordination.
