I’ve not resigned – Tukur

I’ve not resigned  – Tukur

FROM TAIWO AMODU, ABUJA

Speculation was rife yesterday that the embattled National Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamagar Tukur, has resigned from  his position ahead of tomorrow’s meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC).
But, Tukur in a statement, denied his purported resignation, just as he expressed concern that agents of darkness have taken over the ruling party.
Tukur, who expressed his disdain over the rumour, said he never planned to quit, pointing fingers of scorn at those he described as  “desperate hawks within and outside the party to pull down the structure of the ruling party.”
He claimed that  he had done everything practicable to pull the PDP on track as well as keep the agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan for transforming Nigeria away from distraction.
He said that as national chairman, he would never subject his resignation, at any point, to newspapers speculation.
“ It is unbelievable that party members could be mean, vile, treacherous and vindictive while playing such stunt. This is not the first time they would do this. They had sponsored media reports severally to say I had resigned. Yet, Almighty God has continued to shame them because they were not the ones who kept me on this seat.
“They went further to sponsor media reports that I was to confront our President over an issue they could not expatiate on. The agents of darkness have taken over the place. Nigeria and members of our party should beware.
“I am in good terms with Mr President, the leader of our party. We met often and take strategic decisions together. No one, not even the devil, can make me be in needless confrontation with the President. We are one in the spirit and the enemies would be shocked to see PDP back on stream”, he said.
