Adamu Mu’azu, national chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), has resigned his position, a source within the party has confirmed to theCable.

The source said although Mu’azu’s
resignation had been “effected”, the
party was still holding on before
issuing an official confirmation.

Calls to the cell phone of Olisa Metuh, national publicity secretary of the party, were unanswered, just as a text message to the number was not replied.

Mu’azu has been out of the
country on a medical trip, and it is
uncertain when he will return.

Calls for his resignation had been
gaining momentum since the dismal
performance of the PDP in the
general election.

Prominent among those calling for
his resignation are Ayo Fayose, Ekiti
state governor; Babangida Aliyu,
governor of Niger state; and Sule
Lamido, governor of Jigawa state.

Fayose is particularly of the opinion
that not only did the PDP national
chairman ot do enough work for President Goodluck Jonathan to win
the presidential election, he also
worked for Muhammadu Buhari of
the All Progressives Congress (APC),
winner of the election.

On different occasions, Muazu had
insisted that he would not resign,
assuring the public that the PDP and
its national working committee
(NWC) were in harmony.

He was suspected to be sympathetic
to the the cause of the opposition
candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, and
the failure of the PDP to win in his
home Bauchi state appeared to have
worsened the relationship between
him and the president.
