PDP: Court Hears Motion On Tukur’s Sack Today

[Shola Sholaz]

An Abuja High Court at Apo will today hear a motion seeking to sack National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, from office.
.
The motion was filed by three aggrieved members of the party, Abba Yale, Yahaya Sule and Bashir Maidugu.
.
This is coming as fresh facts emerged, yesterday, on what transpired between President Goodluck Jonathan and five northern governors at a parley, weekend. Sources said the governors wanted a comprehensive convention to oust Tukur and elect all officers, a move that has been criticised by a northern pressure group, the Inspired Group.
.
Meanwhile, Dr. Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Media and Publicity, said the parley between the President and the northern governors and the issues they discussed were private.
