By Henry Umoru
ABUJA—governors elected on the
platform of Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, have concluded that the National
Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu
Mu’azu and other members of its
National Working Committee, NWC,
should take the path of honour and resign
immediately.
This was the outcome of the meeting of
19 PDP governors held Tuesday night,
which extended to the early hours of
yesterday at Akwa Ibom Governor’s
Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja.
They resolved that it had become
imperative for them to go to pave way for
new leadership, following the abysmal
performance of the party at the March 28
and April 11 general elections.
The meeting, which was the first since
PDP lost the presidency after 16 years of
leadership, was a post-mortem on the
election and the way forward for the
party.
The party, which controlled the
Presidency, House of Representatives and
the Senate since 1999, did not only suffer
defeat at the presidential election, but
also lost in its traditional states of
Plateau, Niger, Kaduna, Benue, Bauchi and
Jigawa.
It became the opposition party in the
Senate with 46 senators,while APC has
60.
It was gathered that at the meeting,
which was held behind closed doors as
journalists were not informed, had
Muazu, his deputy, Prince Uche Secondus
and National Legal Adviser, Victor Kwon,
and all 19 governors in attendance.
A source at the meeting told Vanguard
that Muazu and his team were later asked
to excuse the governors.
Soon after they left the Akwa Ibom State
Governor’s Lodge, the governors, the
source said, agreed unanimously that the
party would need fresh persons and that
Muazu and his team must pave way for
the new blood that would be required to
run the party.
Following the decision of the governors,
who want to take total control of the
party, members of the NWC, yesterday,
went into a marathon meeting even
though they were said to be on break for
two weeks.
