PDP Train Will Leave You Behind, Tukur Tells Atiku, Aggrieved Governors. By SaharaReporters, New York The factional national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bamanga Tukur, has warned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and a group of seven aggrieved governors of the party who formed a splinter group that the party’s train will leave them behind. He urged them to retrace their steps before it is too late. Mr. Atiku and Governors Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), and Abdulfatai Ahmed (Kwara) had walked out of the party’s recent special convention that held at the Eagle Square, Abuja. The former vice president, the seven governors and other disaffected party members then met at the Musa Yar’Adua Convention Center where they released a list of grievances against the Bamanga Tukur-led party. In addition, they announced their formation of the new PDP, electing Baraje as the chairman of their faction. The Baraje faction has since gone to court seeking a declaration that Mr. Tukur should stop parading himself as the party’s chairman.
