POLLS: Resign with immediate effect – PDP chief tells Mu’azu

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Yinka Ajia, has called on the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, to resign immediately. Ajia, who was a special adviser to a former national chairman of the party, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, said the resignation of Mu’azu is the first step that should be taken to reorganize the party. Ajia’s position was contained in a statement issued on Thursday in Ilorin.

According to him, “Mu’azu failed to mobilise the party for victory in the just concluded general elections.” He said the poor outing of President Jonathan in all states of the North-West and in many states of the North-East reflected Mu’azu’s alleged incompetence. He said, “The poor performance of the President in Bauchi State, the home of the PDP chairman, is another reason why the party should have a new leader."
