The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been divided ever since their money bag major failure to clichéd any major political post at the just concluded 2015 general election.
In other to make his view most important among the political field in Nigeria, Ayodele Fayose, released out a press statement to the public, he ask the Adamu Mu’azu to resign just the way British LP, Liberal Democrats leaders’ did .
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the resignation of British Labour Party leader, Ed Miliband and Liberal Democrats leader, Nick Clegg over their parties woeful performance in the last Thursday general election as a vindication of his call for the resignation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu.
The governor, who said in a release issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, that he had no personal score to settle with the PDP National Chairman, added that; “It is morally wrong for the National Chairman to remain in office after leading the party into its first national electoral loss.”
Three party leaders in Britain, including opposition Labour Party leader, Ed Miliband and Liberal Democrats leader, Nick Clegg had resigned yesterday, after their party’s loss in the Thursday general election. Reacting, Governor Fayose said; “Alhaji Mu’azu should be honourable enough to follow the same path as the British LP and Democrats leaders.
“Mu’azu’s case is even worse than that of the British party leaders, who resigned immediately their party lost because majority of PDP members no longer have confidence in his (Mu’azu) leadership and there is no way a willing leader can be forced on an unwilling followers.”
Speaking further, the governor said; “This is not about any personality and I am also not operating here on empty boast because Ekiti State was delivered to the PDP 100 percent. “Rather, it is about issues. Imagine the PDP not getting up to five percent of the votes in Bauchi State, the National Chairman’s home state and someone is still not being honourable enough to resign.
“Haven’t we now seen what operates in saner climes with the resignation of the British LP and Democrat leaders? Shouldn’t our party National Chairman also take a cue from this and allow for fresh minds to steer the ship of the party at this difficult time?
“Methinks leaders in this country should learn from their counterparts in other climes because like I said earlier, when a war commander leads his troop to an embarrassing defeat, such commander does not need anyone to tell him that he needs to leave the war front for another commander to take over.”
In other to back the claim, Former Aviation Minster and Director of Publicity Campaign for President Godluck Jonathan, at just concluded 2015 election, Femi Fani-Kayode, also thinks the PDP National Working Committee members should resign.
His tweet comes hours after Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose called on PDP chairman, Adamu Muazu to toe the line of UK’s Labor and Liberal Democrats party leaders who resigned after losing woefully in the UK presidential election yesterday.
