Our Party Full Of Injustice –PDP Chair, Mu’azu. by Johnnyessence(m): 5:56am On Jan 07, 2015
The National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, came
hard on the political party on Tuesday, saying it
was “full of injustice.”
He said this was one of the reasons some PDP
members defected to opposition political parties
like the All Progressives Congress, the Labour
Party and the All Progressive Grand Alliance.
Mu’azu spoke at the inauguration of the
Senator Amodu Ali-led PDP Presidential
Campaign Organisation in Abuja.
The event, which was held at the Legacy
Building, Maitama, was attended by President
Goodluck Jonathan, a few governors and
members of the National Working Committee of
the party.
Mu’azu, who received a standing ovation from
the guests after his speech, turned to Jonathan
and said, “Mr. President, I want you to discuss
with your governors, senators, members of the
House of Representatives and other elected
officials.
“We say that members of the PDP should not be
used and dumped again. People leave the party
because of lack of equity or injustice.
“Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop. That must
stop. This time round, monkey must work and
monkey must eat.
“A lot of people who left (our party) did so
because of injustice in our party. The party is full
of injustice.
“The membership of the APC, LP, APGA and
others are increasing because of this. All these
members are from our party. We must find out
what is wrong and correct it.”
As soon as he said this, the gathering stood
up and clapped for him.
Before then, Mu’azu had called on the opposition
to limit their campaigns to issues and not
religion, tribe and trivial matters.
Responding, Jonathan told Mu’azu that he was
aware that there were issues arising from the
PDP primaries.
He said while the members of the party must
come together to resolve them, he stressed that
it must be clear to all that there must always be
losers.
The President added that there were other
political offices which, according to him, were
available during and after elections.
He appealed to PDP governors to unite in
ensuring that the party won the general
elections .
On the February 14 presidential election,
Jonathan said his government had done a lot to
improve the quality of lives of Nigerians,
including the youth .
He said that at the appropriate time, his
opponents would tell Nigerians what they did
while in government.
The President said, “They will tell Nigerians how
many nursery schools they built while in
government. When the time reaches, we will
speak out.
“Those who want to form a parallel government
should continue to think like that. We are waiting
for them. Anyone who causes trouble will be
dealt with.”
He warned members of the party against joining
issues with those he said might want to cause
trouble in the country.
He said, “Some other politicians and
campaigners are threatening fire and brimstone.
Do not join them.
“Some other parties are pulling down other
people’s posters. That is primitive. Please, do
not join them. Every Nigerian must be free to
campaign anywhere.”
The President charged those who would be
responsible for his campaign to be civil,
decorous and law-abiding.
He said he had already promised Nigerians and
the international community that the elections
would be free, fair, credible and violence-free.
The President said, “Without doubt, the
forthcoming elections will mark a critical point in
our nation’s history. The eyes of the
international community are focused on the
transition that lies ahead of us; the fifth post-
military rule general elections that will be
conducted under a civilian dispensation in
Nigeria.
“The world is asking: will Nigeria get it right? My
categorical response to that is: Yes, we must.
And surely, we will. It is your duty to ensure that
through your campaigns, and activities, this
primary objective is not lost.
“Our commitment to free, fair, credible, and
violence-free elections remains unshaken. That
should also be your own commitment as we go
to the field to seek the people’s mandate once
again.”
He asked members of the campaign committee
to always remember that the PDP belonged to
democrats.
The President added, “You must always
remember that we are a party of democrats, not
a party of hooligans. We are a party of patriots,
not a party of renegades.
“We are a party of statesmen and women. We
are a party of builders and not destroyers. We
are a party of committed servants of the people.
“You must let our people see once again, that
we are in this to serve and to move Nigeria
forward, not to move Nigeria backwards.”
In his acceptance speech, Ali said he was sure
that marketing the candidacy of President won’t
be a problem.
Calling on Nigerians to vote for Jonathan, he
wondered why an opposition came up with an
“octogenarian in this period when the world is
moving toward the younger ones.”
None of the opposition party presidential
candidates, including Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari of the APC, is an octogenarian. Buhari is
72.
Making a mockery of the broom, the symbol of
the APC, Ali said, “Never has it happened that a
sweeper would become a king in the same
palace where he sweeps. Not even with or
without certificate.”
In his speech, the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the party, Chief Tony Anenih, asked
the members of the PCO to work hard in order to
win the elections.
Anenih said, “The presidential candidates of
other parties cannot boast about any
achievements in our democratic journey since
they have not got the experience.
“So, I expect that Nigerians will prefer continuity
of this administration’s robust Transformation
Agenda to the so-called change just to satisfy
some personal and narrow interests.
“Now, as we all know, the presidential election is
the first in the series of elections scheduled by
INEC to hold on February 14 along with the
National Assembly elections.
“What this means is that we must work
assiduously to win the best prize, which is the
presidential election. Once we do that, the
victory will expectedly have a bandwagon effect
on the February 28 governorship and state
Houses of Assembly elections.”
Others who spoke at the event were the Senate
President, David Mark, and the Governor of Akwa
Ibom State, Chief Godswill Akpabio.
Both described the President as a good product. www.punchng.com/news/our-party-full-of-injustice-pdp-chair-muazu/

It’s like Nigerians are scrambling to endorse
BuhariForPresident directly and indirectly.
GEJ will be stupid to think he will win next
election. He’s has lost his party already, he
is overdependent on Governors to win the
election for him. Come 14th of FeBuhari, we
shall all celebrate the emergence of Buhari as
our new president. By God’s grace. I have no
doubt over BuharI victory because, God is
obviously on the side of the people. Adamu
Muazu knows this, hence is new found
courage to face Jonathan. He knows PDP will
lose.

No doubt it is game up for Jonathan and his
team. Six and half years, it is promise in
place of physical and meaningful achievement
speaking to the deaf and dunbs as if they
don’t listen to Fr Mbaka and OBJ sermons.
What good is Anineh, Amadu, FFK etc. What
political value do they have? Gej has failed us on every side he will be disappointed in Feb 14.

A man of 72 is actually a Septuagenarian not Octogenarian as said by Mr Ahmadu Ali.
