Alhaji Bamanga Tukur
Thirteen Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors rose from a meeting at the Akwa Ibom State Governor's Lodge last night with a resolution that the national chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, should go.
The meeting, which ended at about 9.55p.m., saw the PDP governors heading to the State House to make their views known to President Goodluck Jonathan.
Though it is not known when Tukur would be shoved aside, FOB gathered that the meeting between the PDP governors and the president would set in motion machinery to elect a new national chairman from the North-east geo- political zone.
Two states are said to likely produce the next national chairman. The states are Borno or Bauchi State.
Though it is still not yet known how President Jonathan will respond to the demand of the PDP governors who are seen as the field commanders of the party in the states.
The governors at the meeting were those of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Abia, Ebonyi, Kogi, Kebbi, Kaduna, Bauchi, Enugu, Cross River, Katsina, Plateau, acting Governor of Taraba State and the Deputy Governor of Niger State.
