Tukur, others work for APGA because of 2015 -New PDP The New Peoples Democratic Party has alleged that the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, and other chiefs of the party supported the All Progressive Grand Alliance in the November 16 governorship election in Anambra State because of 2015. It alleged that the facts before it (the New PDP ) indicated that Tukur did this to enable APGA to adopt President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential flag-bearer come 2015. It said because of this, Tukur and those it alleged gave support for the APGA candidate, Mr. Willie Obiano, during the election must be summoned and disciplined by the party. A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the faction of the ruling party, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, said the Umaru Dikko-led Disciplinary Committee should be bold enough to invite Tukur for questioning. But Tukur has denied the allegation, saying there was no way he could have supported APGA when he was in the state to campaign for his party and its candidate. He said those making the allegation should be ignored by the PDP and Nigerians. Tukur, who spoke through his Media Adviser, Mr. Oliver Okpala, said he was aware of the provision of the party’s constitution an therefore would not be involved in anti-party activities. Eze, however, insisted in a statement in Abuja on Thursday that Tukur was the arrowhead of the plot to deny the candidate of the PDP, Mr. Tony Nwoye, the needed support.
