Key stakeholders in the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) are are caught in a dilemma over the next
line of action on the party’s National Chairman,
Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, and his team in the National
Working Committee (NWC).
Two separate meetings of the party’s national
leaders and elders, called by President Goodluck
Jonathan during the week, failed to take a definite
position on the fate of the elected party officials.
While some of the stakeholders are calling for the
sack of Mu’azu and his subordinates, others have
argued that they be allowed to complete their
tenure, which expires in March, 2016.
The disagreement is coming just as a prominent
chieftain of the party has fingered the President-
Elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and the national
leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the ruling party’s
“nemesis”.
Our correspondent’s investigation revealed at the
weekend that all the party’s outgoing governors
have insisted on outright dissolution of the NWC, to
pave way for a new set of executives.
The governors, investigation further revealed, are
being backed by a leader of the party in the
Southwest zone, Chief Olabode George and a few
others. A source privy to the meetings said
President Jonathan has chosen to remain neutral.
Our source also said the President had directed the
stakeholders and contending parties to embark on
further consultations, with a view to finding
amicable solution to the raging crisis.
The anti Mu’azu forces, particularly Governor Ayo
Fayose of Ekiti State, had argued that retaining the
present crop of the party’s executive members
would be counter-productive.
According to them, rather than mobilising support
for the President in the last election, the Chairman
and his team members were preoccupied with
pecuniary pursuits to the detriment of the party.
Allusions were made to instances where the party
officials shared money among themselves when
they were supposed to disburse same for campaign
purposes.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa
Metuh, had at a recent media briefing, stated that
members of the NWC collected N30 million each.
Metuh however, explained that the money was for
the backlog of allowances and medical expenses of
the NWC members.
Apparently, the money was part of the proceeds
of sales of nomination forms for the various
elective positions in the last general elections.
He had insisted that funds were not made available
to the party officials for the presidential campaign,
saying the funds were directly placed under the
control of the Presidential Campaign Council.
Buttressing Metuh’s position, a high ranking
member of the party’s top decision making organ
said the NWC should not be blamed for the
crushing defeat the PDP suffered at the poll.

The official, who craved anonymity, said the PDP
faced the most formidable opposition in Buhari and
Tinubu who he described as the party’s nemesis.
Said he: “I think it’s high time we stopped this
fruitless blame game. Buhari and Tinubu were our
nemesis and not the NWC members.
“If you are a member of a club, you must be bold
enough to say the truth when things go wrong. Tell
me, how many of us can match Buhari’s popularity
in the entire north? How many of our members can
stand against Tinubu in the Southwest, even in the
states that are not under the control of the APC?
“Let me tell you something, during the campaign,
some of us from the north were compelled to
chant ‘Sai Buhari’ by the same people we tried to
sell our presidential candidate to.
“So, whatt can anybody do in a situation where
your audience insisted that you must hail your
opponent. So many of our people in the North see
Buhari as a kind of god. We were helpless.”
Meanwhile, the Post Election Assessment
Committee set up by the party to review PDP’s
poor performance at the poll has called for
memoranda from members across board.
At a media briefing in Abuja on Friday, the
Committee Secretary, Senator Walid Jibril said
there was need to seek input from diverse opinions
within the party.
According to him, restricting contributions to
leaders and chieftains of the party would not yield
the desired result, stressing that contributions from
followers, who constitute the bulk of the voting
segment are very crucial.
He vowed that any party chieftain found to have
acted in ways and manners suggesting anti party
activities would not be spared.
Jibril, who is also the secretary of the party’s Board
of Trustees, added that the PDP would succeed in
putting its house in order sooner that most people
expect.
“I can assure you that we are working very hard to
get our rhythm back. We have put the last election
behind us and we are focusing on the future of the
party ahead of 2019”, he stated.
