President Goodluck Jonathan is facing a crisis within his party centred as he intends to run for another term in the 2015 election. Five governors and several lawmakers have defected to the opposition already and now his close ally Bamanga Tukur, has resigned as chairman of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). His resignation could help ease opposition to Jonathan only if he can pick a replacement who is loyal to him and at the same time acceptable across the party. The President said Tukur's replacement would come from the northeast region, as Tukur does, and would be announced on Monday. According to President Jonathan "Members of this party are still faithful to the party. Of course we have few defections, which to me is normal," he said. "I don't think it's something we should worry ourselves (about) too much." Goodluck Mr President Goodluck........
