President Goodluck Jonathan might have stayed true to his word to give the former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bamanga Tukur, a “tougher” position.Reports have it that the president is set to appoint Alhaji Tukur as the new minister of defence following a recent reshuffle in the country’s military leadership.Tukur resigned from his position as chairman last week after intense pressure was placed on him by various party stakeholders.
Vanguard reports:
While announcing Tukur’s retirement and displaying the envelope containing the letter last week, President Jonathan, who is the leader of his party, revealed that he was going to reward the former chairman with a very tough appointment.Security sources told Vanguard, yesterday, that contrary to the belief that Tukur was asked to resign as PDP chairman because he ended up causing disaffection within the party, President Jonathan only told the former chairman to step aside to enable a wholesome resolution of perceived grievances of various camps who cited Tukur as the problem.
