Outcome of Peace Meeting in Abuja......culled from Leadership (today), "But there was a mild drama amidst the series of meetings as both Lamido and Amaechi taunted Tukur with “former chairman”. As Funke, Obasanjo’s daughter, was exchanging pleasantries with Tukur, Lamido held her hand and dragged her away; but her insistence that she wanted to greet the chairman elicited a joke from Lamido who said: “Which chairman? You mean the former chairman? Amaechi’s was even more dramatic as he accosted Tukur with a harder joke. “Former chairman, thank God we now have a brand new chairman who understands the constitution that if you suspend a party man and the NEC does not ratify that suspension after 30 days, the action (suspension) automatically lapses.” The chairman of the new PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, accompanied by Lamido, moved to inspect the secretariat of the new PDP located at Plot 3206 A, No. 4 Oyi River Crescent, Maitama District. It was the former office of the National Democratic Party (NDP). Construction was still going on in the building as labourers were seen placing interlocking tiles on the road leading to it. The gate was painted in the red, white and green colours of the PDP. A partially covered signpost on the building revealed an insignia similar to that of the PDP.
