I Am A ‘Positive’ Virus In PDP – Tukur

As the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, continues to deepen, its national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur has described himself as a virus in the party.

Tukur said he remained a positive virus for the entrenchment of democratic culture, discipline and good governance in the party and the country at large.

He was reacting to a statement credited to the Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido who said Tukur must be chased out because of the virus in him.

The party chairman maintained that hopefully, Lamido would also contact this necessary virus for the good of the PDP and the country.

Tukur stated this in a statement issued by his Media Assistant, Mr. Oliver Okpala, in Abuja on Sunday.

He said, “The National Chairman remarked that this virus that Lamido perceived is a necessary virus in any democratic political structure for sustenance and continuity of our nascent democratic dispensation.
“He said if the virus had spread enough, the likes of Lamido would not have walked out on the President of the country and other party leaders during the party’s last convention.”

Tukur asserted that discipline remains a tool in the smooth running of any political organisation or society, as any organisation or society without discipline opens the door for indiscipline, anarchy and catastrophe.
He assured party members that he was ready to continue to run the party with democratic ideals as a father and founding member of the ruling PDP.
