All efforts being made to halt the raging post-poll crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seem to be futile.
The verbal war goes on, despite the warning by Senate President David Mark that the party risks death, given the bickering among its leaders.
Yesterday, National chairman Adamu Muazu took a swipe at Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose for alleging that his betrayal contributed to the abysmal failure of the ruling party and its candidate President Goodluck Jonathan at the presidential poll.
Fayose, calling for the sack of the National Working Committee (NWC) members, said he had evidence that Muazu worked for the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He threatened to make the evidence public.
A bitter Mu’azu on his twitter handle yesterday, taunted the governor. In a series of tweets, he said: “Fayose: I have evidence that Mu’azu worked for APC. We hope it’s not the kind of evidence he once said he had that Buhari was dying?
“We challenge Governor Fayose to come out with the evidence that shows National Chairman worked for APC during the elections.
“On Governor Fayose’s allegations, they are baseless & unfounded. We will continue to support him and the good people of Ekiti State.
“We must provide a responsible and credible opposition to the incoming government. Together Nigeria will be great.
“I am willing to work with all members and organs of our great party to begin a new journey of trust and sincerity with the Nigerian people.
“In our desire to correct all wrongs & negative impressions about our party, I am calling on Nigerians to partner with us.
But things will change now. Power truly belongs to the people and we are giving it back to them.”
Debunking speculations that he may dump the PDP for the APC, Mu’azu said: “I am too principled to betray my party. I have been here since 1999”.
Fayose had wondered why Mu’azu, the Minister of the Federal capital territory Bala Mohammed and Governor Isa Yuguda – all from Bauchi State - failed to deliver the state to President Jonathan. But Mu’azu responded: it’s the people that vote.
“I have repeatedly reminded many that I, Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, have been in the PDP since 1999 as a matter of principle and strong ideology,” he said.
