I Was Not Bundled Out Of PDP Gov’s Meeting- Mu’azu

National chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Dr. Adamu Mu’azu
on Wednesday denied that he was bundled
out of a meeting of governors of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Reports had emerged that the national
chairman was bundled out of a governors
forum meeting which held at the Akwa
Ibom governors lodge in Asokoro.
Indication emerged that governors of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are not
letting up on their move to sack the national
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) Dr. Adamu Mu’azu over the party’s
electoral woes at the presidential election.
Mu’azu and governors of the party have
been locked in a crisis of confidence since,
President Goodluck Jonathan lost to Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari in the March 28
presidential election.
The loss had resulted in a clamor for the
ouster of Mu’azu and the set up of a
caretaker committee.
But the spokesman of the national
chairman, Tony Amadi, told Leadership that
Mu’azu was bundled out of the meeting.
Amadi, who admitted he (Amadi) was not
present at the meeting, noted that if such a
scenario played out at the meeting there
would have been a shoot out between the
security aides of the chairman and the
governors.
While he refused to state whether the
meeting with the governors was rancour
free, Amadi said “he was not bundled out of
the meeting. None of that happened. who
bundled who out? How can you bundle out
a party chairman.”
When asked that he was neither at the
meeting and might not know whether such
a scenario transpired he said “what I know
is that he was not bundled out of the
meeting.”
“If they said he was bundled out of the
meeting where was his security details? If
they attempt to bundle out the chairman
there would have been a shoot out between
the security details of Mu’azu and the
governors and nobody wants that. Don’t
forget you are talking about a former
governor and a national chairman of a
political party.”
“What we are doing in the party now is
how to restrategise and bounce back.”
He further lambasted those calling for
Mu’azu to resign, noting that most of them
failed to deliver their states at the polls.
“Those calling for him to go how many of
them won their states. The issues is that as
the party lost they are blaming somebody
but they tried to hijack the party in their
states and could not deliver as they should.”
He added that the national chairman will not
resign his position noting that the party
under Mu’azu’s leadership intends to stop a
trend where national party chairmen are
remained on a whim.
“This party is not changing national
chairman. A bane of this party has been the
way it changes it chairmen. In the last six
years the party has not had chairmen who
served for more than two years.”
A party source told leadership that the
governors were displeased with the
performance of the current leadership of the
party under Mu’azu and tinkered with the
prospects of having one of them head a
caretaker committee if he is removed.
It was gathered that the governors are
angling for either a south west governor or
a governor from the south south to head
the caretaker committee after May
29pending the conduct of fresh elections for
NWC positions next year.
It was gathered that the decision to move
the position to the southern part of the
country was predicated on the likelihood
that the party’s presidential candidate would
emerge from the North in 2019.
