PDP to Tukur’s aides: Stop comments on party crisis
The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned aides to the party’s national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur against commenting on the crisis rocking the party.In a statement issued on Monday by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party said the aides should desist from commenting on the crisis as it affects the party chairman.
The warning is coming on the heels of a statement credited to Tukur’s Political Adviser, Senator Umar Gada, to the effect that President Goodluck Jonathan would be rendered vulnerable if Tukur is removed as chairman.
Distancing the party from the comments, Metuh stated that Gada’s comments did not represent the true state of affairs in the party.
“The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has distanced itself from a statement credited to Senator Abubakar Umar Gada, Special Adviser to PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Bamangu Tukur, suggesting that the National Chairman and some PDP governors are at loggerheads over some political issues.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the NWC enjoys a harmonious relationship with our governors, Board of Trustee members, elders of the party and other key stakeholders with the National Chairman piloting all in supporting President Goodluck Jonathan to deliver the Transformation Agenda for the good of all Nigerians,” the statement said.
The party said it would continue to uphold the manifesto and constitution of the PDP in the overall interest of all Nigerians in line with the principles of service, justice and equity.
It added that the party remained on the same page with the governors and other elected or appointed officials of the PDP in that regard.
