Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has hailed the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari in his first 100 days in office.

Tukur made the statement while speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Thursday as part of the events marking his 80th birthday.

He said President Buhari was on the right track concerning fighting corruption and insecurity, and has in the last 100 days “delivered on his promises of confronting corruption, power, unemployment and insecurity.”

“To me, they are going ‎the right way, they are not deviating from what they said they will do,” he declared.

Of himself, he said some powerful forces within the PDP forced him out, adding that if he had still been there, his party would not have been defeated during the last general elections.

Notwithstanding, he ruled out the possibility of his joining the All Progressives Congress as some members of the PDP have done.

Tukur said it would be difficult for him to change his behaviours, saying, “At 80 what do you want somebody to do? You want to change somebody character at 80? Is it possible? At 80 you remain because you cannot bend anymore because it will break.”
