Mu’azu speaks on rumoured resignation, as Bauchi PDP chieftains slam him

The national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu has said he hasn’t resigned his post. Making this disclosure on Twitter in personally-signed tweets, Mu’azu said, “First, they said I had misunderstanding with President Jonathan last week. Then this week that I resigned. One propaganda per week. What will be the propaganda for next week? APC will lose this election convincingly & I hope they blame my misunderstanding with PGEJ.”

In another development, some concerned elders and chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi State have accused Mu’azu of not doing enough for the re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan. The elders and chieftains of the party in Mu’azu’s home state were reacting to the statement by the PDP national publicity secretary, Olisah Metuh, faulting insinuations that Mu’azu is not committed to the campaign efforts of the president.

However, a political associate of Mu’azu, Alhaji Sani Toro, in a swift reaction, denied the allegations saying, “Mu’azu has met with stakeholders and whoever that matters in Bauchi twice and sought support for the re-election of Jonathan and other PDP candidates”. The elders said Mu’azu has his own secret agenda and advised Metuh to “stop defending the indefensible.”

The elders in a statement signed by Alhaji Bibi Dogo said: “There is also nothing concrete on ground to show Mua’zu’s personal commitment to the Jonathan re-election efforts. Attending Presidential campaign rallies organised by PDP presidential campaign organisation is not enough commitment from the national chairman of the party. In fact to govern a state for eight years under the same party is enough for Mu’azu to deliver Bauchi to Jonathan 100 percent, if actually Mu’azu is in control of the party in his state.

“Metuh should come to Bauchi to carry out thorough investigation on the true character of Mu’azu before defending the indefensible, The truth of the matter is that since his emergence as the PDP national chairman, Mu’azu has not on his own convened a stakeholders forum in Bauchi State to convince the people on why it is incumbent to support Jonathan’s re-election.”
