Bamanga Tukur’s last wish for PDP was keep flag flying – Turaki camp

By Luminous Jannamike The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Interim National Working Committee-led by Kabiru Turaki, SAN, on Saturday mourned the party’s former National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, who died at 90, recalling that the elder statesman’s final message to the party was a call to keep its flag flying and preserve its place as Nigeria’s truly national political platform.

According to the PDP INWC, Tukur’s death marked the loss of not just a former national chairman, but a statesman whose political and professional career spanned decades and who remained committed to the party’s future until his final months.“During our last interaction with him a few months ago, he specifically reiterated his unflinching belief in the PDP as the truly national party capable of providing solutions to Nigeria’s challenges and charged our National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki, SAN, to keep the flag of the party flying,” the party said.
