On a day in which he ate his words and recalled a governor he suspended only days ago, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman Bamanga Tukur may learn he is himself to be consumed by the rampaging beast.
A source told SaharaRreporters that a high-powered committee, led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Anyim Pius Anyim, set up to look into the crisis in the party, has recommended that Alhaji Tukur and all National Working Committee (NWC) members should resign their positions on Thursday.
The NWC consists of Tukur, spokesman Olisa Metuh, others handpicked by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Anyim committee comprises of Special Adviser on Political Matters to the President, Mr. Ahmed Gulak, Governor of Akwa Ibom State Goodwill Akpabio, Katsina State Governor Ibrahim Shema , Benue State Governor, Abia State Governor Theodore Ahamefule Orji and other Jonathan loyalists.
Earlier today, Mr. Tukur announced a meeting of the NWC for that day.
SaharaReporters learned that the Anyim committee met for six hours at the Legacy House headquarters of the party and resolved that members of the NWC, including Mr. Tukur, should resign in order to save face, having reached the conclusion that Tukur has run the PDP into the ground.
As of the time of this report all the members have moved to the Aso Rock villa to meet with President Jonathan to determine whether their removals will be finalized.
The source also said that Chairman Tukur might be replaced with former governor of Bauchi state, Alhaji Muazu, or Shehu Babayo, a politician also from Bauchi State.
