Barely 24 hours after former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, was suspended for one month by the National Working Committee of the PDP, Tukur has said he is ready to face the party’s disciplinary committee.
The embattled former chairman of the ruling party, while speaking with journalists on Friday over his suspension, also said that he remains a loyal party member and staunch supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan despite his suspension.
Tukur stated that he was ready to abide by the decision of PDP’s disciplinary committee with regards to his suspension.
It would be recalled that the suspension of Tukur and an aspirant to
the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aliyu Gurin, both of whom are from
Adamawa State, is to last one month.
Their suspension was sequel to a case filed by Gurin in which he is seeking the sacking of the Acting National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Muazu.

He explained that there was no way he could have sponsored a
case to remove the party chairman because as a founding member of the
party and a Board of Trustee member, he was conversant with the party’s
law.
He however explained that he will not petition the party’s action but will abide by their decision, noting that he expects the party to do the needful.
