[LequteMan]

According to Punch, the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has resigned.

With the resignation, Tukur has escaped being suspended from the party by the members of the NWC if he had refused to resign.

Tukur was to be suspended by about eight members of the NWC, while the National Executive Committee of the party would ratify his suspension on Thursday.

A senior member of the divided National Working Committee of the party said President Goodluck Jonathan will break the news at the meeting of the National Caucus of the party tonight in Abuja.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Patience Jonathan is said to be scheming to install Minister of Transport, Sen. Idris Umar as Tukur’s successor, a move which the governors are resisting.

Like someone said,

a man has to quit work when his time is up, voluntarily or involuntarily

It's Tukur's time to leave the position, God knows he's spent enough time as the chairman.
