Alhaji Bamanga Tukur
On two fronts yesterday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) launched offensives against aggrieved party members who pulled out on Saturday to form the New PDP. It approached the Federal High Court, Abuja, to commit the factional national chairman of the party, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, to prison for alleged contempt of court.
It also urged the court to jail the faction’s national secretary, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, and Baraje’s deputy, Dr. Sam Jaja. The party wants the court to jail them for a minimum of one year each for allegedly committing criminal contempt. The legal battle came on the same day the party’s national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, drew the battle line with members of the splinter group of the party, whom he described as impostors.
