Mu’azu wants PDP Members to stop Trading Blames over Party’s Defeat
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, has advised that the party stops its culture of “use and dump”, amidst calls by members for his resignation due to the poor performance of the party in the 2015 general elections.
Mu’azu also said that members of the party members should see the defeat as an opportunity to re-organise itself in preparation for the next elections in 2019 instead of shifting blames.
He said: “The result of the 2015 presidential election is the elixir the PDP needs to reinvent itself and retake power in 2019 instead of wasting time, energy and resorting to mudslinging and blame game over the party’s failed bid to win a fourth consecutive presidential election victory.
“Stories spreading like wild fire in the social media about schisms in our party can only energise the incoming administration of the All Progressives Congress and their wish list that include the burial of the PDP.
“But we can shock them with our usual resilience and ability to turn the tables particularly as they are already developing a tottering ineptitude in their transition progression to power.
“Our game plan is to provide a virile opposition to the new government, which we have already graciously given a lifeline by conceding defeat and avoiding a calamitous battle in the courts.
“The international community have noted this great act of statesmanship on our part and we shall continue in this mode to show our commitment towards entrenching democracy in our country.
“The time has come for members of the party to reinvent themselves, show great maturity and map out a strategy that will return the party to power in 2019.”
