The battle for the soul of the Peoples Democratic Party intensified on Monday as President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Chairman, Dr. Bamanga Tukur, tried to outwit the PDP governors and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The National Secretary of the party and former Osun State Goveror, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has become the first major casualty of the power tussle. He was directed to step down by Tukur after a rancorous meeting of the party National Working Committe in Abuja on Monday.
Oyinlola is perceived to be a beneficiary of Obasanjo’s political structure while Tukur is known to have the support of the President.
