Rumours are rife that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
governors have concluded plans to dump the party over the refusal of the
National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, to throw in the towel amidst
protests from the state chief executives.
Peoples Daily reports that there is possible break-up of the party in
the nearest future as the governors seem to have had a enough and are
willing to form a new party.
In a meeting they held last week, the PDP governors resolved to either
force Mu’azu out of the party or leave the party. They were said to
have met with President Goodluck Jonathan after their meeting, to brief
him of their plan to ensure the Mu’azu loses his job.
It was gathered that some of the governors are already in Abuja for
other round of meeting summoned by their Chairman and Akwa-Ibom State
Governor, Godswill Akpabio, to determine Mu’azu’s fate.
Meanwhile, reports had emerged that the governors have a “Plan B” which
is to completely abandon the party, they are set execute the plan in
the event of Mu’Azu’s refusal to resign, especially before President
Jonathan vacates his seat on the 29th of May 2015.
The PDP Chairman is currently not in Nigeria even as there are
insinuations that Mu’azu is hoping to keep his seat as a way of boosting
his political profile ahead of the 2019 elections, when he is rumoured
to have interest in contesting for the presidency.
Just last week, the media was awash with news that Mu’azu was sent out
of a meeting the governors were having at the Akwa-Ibom State Governor’s
Lodge.
Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, who has been having a running battle
with Mu’azu has also called for the dissolution of the Mu’azu-led
National Working Committee of the PDP.
Governors of the PDP had repeatedly asked the national chairman and
other members of the party’s National Working Committee to
resign, accusing them of working against the party during the general
elections.
There are indications that Mu’azu might be replaced by an outgoing
governor from the south-south region of the country, which could occur
on or before May 29.
