Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has said that he has evidence to prove that the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mua’zu sold the party to the opposition during the last elections.
In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications , Mr. Lere Olayinka, Fayose said “I have no apology on my position on the NWC because their responsibility as a party does not take away their failure in the last general election.
“Left to me, I will continue to defend the course of this party because some people are born to stand up at difficult times, and I believe I am one of such people born to stand up for the PDP at this difficult time.
“How do we explain the PDP losing so scandalously in Bauchi State, despite the presence of the national chairman, Federal Capital Territory minister and the state governor?
“I am even more particular about the national chairman because he sold the party to the opposition. I have cogent evidence of his unholy alliance with the opposition before the elections and if they go any further, I will expose all his underhand deals.
“I want to say it again that I have no apology for calling for the resignation of the NWC members, especially the national chairman. After all, someone resigned his position as the national chairman for Mu’azu to assume office.
“Lastly, let me say it categorically that they can only attempt to destroy this party for the moment, not forever. Sooner or later, they will all fade away and PDP will rise again.”
However Mua’zu has said that those accusing him of not doing his best during the last elections are only being economical with the truth.
He said “The perception of Jonathan and our party in the North was at an all time low because of the lies the people were told by politicians.
“Those who blame us for not delivering maximum votes to the President in the North seem to have forgotten that it is the people who vote
“I have repeatedly reminded many that I, Adamu Mu’azu, has been in the PDP since 1999 as a matter of principle and strong ideology.
“Those who insinuate that I did not do my best for our great party and Mr. President during the elections are being economical with the truth.
“In the face of abuse, insult and open ridicule by our friends and brothers, we supported our leader, President Jonathan, faithfully.
“I gave my best and my all to the campaign of Mr. President and the party. We went to every state in Nigeria to campaign.
“For those wishing that I will either defect or resign, I advise you to kindly stop the wishful thinking. We have a party to lead.
“Those who are seeking change in the entire NWC were the same who brought us to this level with their insincerity and praise-singing.
“We are committed to repositioning our great party, the PDP, and we will provide able leadership by restoring its glory.”
