Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, insists that the Peoples Democratic Party National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu and members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) must go. In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor accused Mu’azu of selling out to the opposition at the last general election. Fayose wondered why PDP heavyweights like Mu’azu, Federal Capital Territory Minister, Bala Mohammed and Governor Isa Yuguda failed to deliver their home state of Bauchi to the party despite the enormous resources at their disposal. He argued that Mu’azu must quit his position as the National Chairman on account of the crushing defeat suffered by the party at the general election, likening the party chairman to a war commander who lost a battle and must give way to another commander. While demanding evidence of the funds the national leadership of the party claimed he collected, the governor said he only received N30 million for last general election which he delivered to the party. “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,” Fayose said maintaining that his demand for Mu’azu and others’ resignation was done in good faith and in the overall interest of the party.
