The battle for survival by the National Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, is getting serious as more PDP governors have vowed that he either step down or they will be left with no choice but to dump the party and join their colleagues in APC.
But Tukur is ready to fight to the end and he his describing himself as the best man to be there in the interest of President Goodluck Jonathan's 2015 ambition,claiming that those calling for his removal are plotting to make President Jonathan vulnerable to be defeated in 2015.
The PDP chairman wondered whether his "loyalty" to Jonathan is now a crime. Tukur's removal is considered one of the major conditions needed to restore peace to the troubled party.
As part of their agitation for his removal, the governors met in Abuja, on Friday night, where they resolved that Tukur should resign in order to stem the tide of defections from the party.
The party has lost five of its governors to the major opposition party, the APC, a situation which is seen by top political analysts as a bad omen for the ruling party which is desirous of retaining power in 2015.
