Following the suspension of the immediate past chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, the secretary of the party's Board of Trustees, Senator Walid Jubrin, has advised him to swallow his pride and apologise to the party.

This followed his suspension by the leadership of the ruling party. Tukur, it is believed, is behind the case instituted against the current chairman, Adamu Mu'azu. Even though a federal highcourt dismissed his prayers last Tuesday. The decision has been appealed.

Speaking on the issue, however, Senator Jubrin said it was unfortunate that Tukur was playing hide and seek with the party, knowing that his action violated the party's constitution.

"It is time Tukur swallowed his pride and apologise to the party and, indeed, Mr President. At a time when the party was gearing for elections, it is absurd that it's past chairman should be seen to be dragging the party into disrepute.

"We should not be changing party chairmen like clothes everytime. I expected that Tukur would for the sake of our party, join hands and ensure that our party was successful at next year's election than this unnecessary distraction the suit is causing," Walid stated.
