Former national chairman of the PDP, Bamanga Tukur says that he had a feeling that the fall of the PDP was coming and he tried to protect the party against it. Writing a statement titled "Were You Not Warned?"he said he told his party in 2013 that “In our efforts to achieve success, we must rededicate our genuine political beliefs, change our attitudes and identify our political needs. These good values cannot be realised without accepting the supremacy of the party constitution as key instrument that ensures progress, stability and internal discipline.
“We must strengthen our democracy through determination, not personalisatio; correction, not manipulation; collectivism, not individualism and sacrifice, not disservice.
“If these pronouncements are substantial then, the party should quickly take urgent steps to achieve higher levels, at least by coming to terms with democratic norms and practices. “We owe ourselves a duty to protect, project and support our President to leave behind a lasting legacy for the Nigerian. It guarantees independence but demands for public trust. It promises opportunity but needs dedication. Nigeria will continue to be a great nation if only we can maturely and jointly tackle its challenges and exploit its natural endowment.”
“We had told them then that our focus for the future should be about consolidation and continuity and that goes beyond the plans of our opponents that PDP will fail.”
