ON
a day governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
largely boycotted a peace parley scheduled to resolve their face-off with their
National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, the PDP chairman warned, yesterday,
that not one of the governors nor the president was bigger than the party.
The
warning from Alhaji Tukur came as it emerged that the ranks of the governors
may finally have been broken by news of an alleged secret tape recording of a
meeting of the governors which was allegedly transmitted through Tukur to the
president.
The tape was allegedly the basis for the presidency’s
realization of the depth of ill-feelings among the governors towards the
president. But Tukur’s camp quickly dismissed such speculation as nonsense.
Speaking
while receiving the party’s newest governor, Governor Mukhtar Yero of Kaduna
State at the PDP national secretariat yesterday, Tukur warned the governors
that power was transient.
Tukur
who was himself a governor 30 years ago, spoke against the background of the
boycott of the scheduled peace meeting meant to reconcile the governors with
Tukur over the face-off that arose from the crisis in the Adamawa State chapter
of the party.
