The National Working Committee of People’s Democratic (PDP) has suspended its former National Chairman, Dr. Bamanga Tukur, and Aliyu Abuba Gurin for one month and referred them to the National Disciplinary Committee for instituting court case against the National Chairman of the Party, Ahmed Adamu Mu’azu.
This was disclosed in a press statement signed by Barrister Victor Kwon National Legal Adviser of the party.
According Kwon, the National Working Committee (NWC) suspended Dr. Bamanga Tukur and Aliyu Abuba Gurin for one month and referred them to the National Disciplinary Committee for infringing on section 58(1) (a) (b) ( h) (l) of the PDP Constitution 2012 (as amended).
“The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic (PDP) at its 395th meeting reviewed recent national developments as they affect the party. Among others, the NWC deliberated on the court case instituted against the National Chairman of the Party, Ahmed Adamu Mu’azu by the former National Chairman, Dr. Bamanga Tukur” the statement read.
Kwon said the National Working Committee (NWC) reasoned that for “instituting a claim and counter claim in suit FHC/ABJ /821/2014; Gurin vs PDP and 3 others without first exploring and exhausting the party’s internal mechanism of redress and for attempting to stop the forthcoming National Convention to nominate the party’s presidential candidate as well as regularize the position of the National Chairman and other members of the National Working Committee is unacceptable.”
