The National Working Committee of ruling Peoples Democratic, (PDP) has suspended Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, former National Chairman of the party and Abuba Gurin for anti party activities which bother on their taking the incumbent national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu, to court without exhausting the party’s internal mechanism for resolving crisis.
They are suspended for one month and their case referred to the party’s disciplinary committee for further action.
In a statement today by the National Legal Adviser of the party, Victor Kwom, it said that the decision to suspend Tukur was taken at its 395th meeting held Wednesday December 3, 2014, which reviewed recent national developments as they affect the party.
According to the statement, 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.
PDP National Legal Adviser said: “The NWC reasoned that for instituting a claim and counter claim in suit No. FHC/ABJ /821/2014; Gurin vs PDP & 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.
“In view of this, the statement, said, “the NWC hereby suspends Dr. Bamanga Tukur and Aliyu Abuba Gurin for one month and refers them to the National Disciplinary Committee forinfringing on section 58(1)(a)( b)( h)( l) of the PDP Constitution 2012 as amended)”
