The embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has confidently retorted that President Goodluck Jonathan is not in a position to remove him from office and only a national convention of the ruling party can in any guise remove him from the office of National Chairman of PDP.
Alhaji Tukur, who spoke with newsmen on his travails, dismissed the report that he had been asked to resign by the president. He insisted that no one can ask him to leave office as he is not ready to go.
In his words: "I am an elected national chairman. I have my certificate of return. I cannot resign. The convention brought me, so it has to take the convention that brought me for me to resign. So, not even the president can ask me to resign."Tukur’s lawyer, Ajibola Oluyede, had written the president, warning against any action aimed at removing the national chairman from office.
