Tukur not fit to lead PDP – Baraje

A factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, has said that the National chairman of the other faction, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, is not fit to lead the party.
Baraje, who was reacting to statements credited to Tukur on Wednesday afternoon, said it had become obvious that Tukur lacks the basic understanding of what party politics is all about.
Tukur had on Wednesday threatened to arrest members of Baraje’s faction who parade themselves as National Executive Committee members.
He also threatened to declare vacant the seats of elected representatives who defer to the Baraje faction.
But Baraje said the statements by Tukur exposed his ignorance.
He said: “They are all mad and they don’t know what is party politics.
“We are not surprised because it’s ignorance of party politics.
“In any case, the process of declaring seats vacant or recalling members of national or state assembly is well known in the constitution.
“To wake up and threaten that he’s going to recall shows that he is not fit to be called national chairman of PDP.”
