However, according to a source who spoke with Premium Times, the embattled chairman was advised by his close friends and associates at a meeting held Tuesday night in Abuja to resign. Muazu resignation was envisaged after it was reported that the spokesperson of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, told reporters at the party’s head office in Abuja to expect a “breaking news” briefing from him later in the day.
The NWC is currently holding a meeting at Wadata Plaza and Mr. Metuh is expected to address the press after the meeting.
Reports also indicate that President Goodluck Jonathan has asked the chairman of PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Anthony Anenih to resign his office as the BOT chairman.
However, it’s still yet to be ascertained if Anenih has accepted to resign or not.
The PDP crisis continued to soar as a result of Adamu Mu’azu’s failure to deliver victory at the just concluded 2015 general elections.
Several bigwigs of the party have blamed Mu’azu for the defeat but the national chairman had repeatedly fired back at his critics that he would not resign despite the pressure being mounted on him to do so.
However, the pressure continued to aggravate and this may well have been the reason for his resignation.
