I Have Cogent Evidence Muazu Betrayed PDP - Fayose
The crisis in PDP seems to be growing deeper, Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has also come out to defend his call for the dissolution of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying he has evidence the party’s national chairman, Adamu Mu’azu, helped the opposition win recent elections.
Fayose, who disclosed this in a statement by his spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, said “In saner climes, when a war commander leads his troops to an embarrassing defeat, such commander does not need anyone to tell him that he needs to leave the war front for another commander to take over.”
While describing the attack on his person by the NWC as unfortunate, Fayose said it was sad that the NWC members, especially Mu’azu were refusing to allow new people to manage the party after managing it to its first national electoral failure.
“How do we explain the PDP losing so scandalously in Bauchi State, despite the presence of the national chairman, federal capital territory minister and the state governor?” he asked.
“I am even more particular about the National Chairman because he sold the party to the opposition. I have cogent evidences of his unholy alliance with the opposition before the elections and if they go any further, I will expose all his underhand deals.
“I want to say it again that I have no apology for calling for the resignation of the NWC members, especially the National Chairman. After all, someone resigned his position as the National Chairman for Alhaji Mu’azu to assume office,” he stated.
Fayose said his call for the dissolution of the Adamu Mu’azu-led NWC of PDP was in good faith, and in the overall interest of the party.
”I have no apology on my position on the NWC because their responsibility as a party does not take away their failure in the last general elections,” he said.
Fayose said he was committed to the PDP and would continue to defend the party even as the last member remaining.
“If it remains only me, I will continue to defend the course of this party because some people are born to stand up at difficult times, and I believe I am one such people born to stand up for the PDP at this difficult time.
