Press statement from Ekiti state governor. Read
below…
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has
described the resignation of British Labour
Party leader, Ed Miliband and Liberal Democrats
leader, Nick Clegg over their parties woeful
performance in the last Thursday general
election as a vindication of his call for the
resignation of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu.
The governor, who said in a release issued by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications and
New Media, Lere Olayinka, that he had no
personal score to settle with the PDP National
Chairman, added that; “It is morally wrong for the
National Chairman to remain in office after
leading the party into its first national electoral
loss.”
Three party leaders in Britain, including opposition
Labour Party leader, Ed Miliband and Liberal
Democrats leader, Nick Clegg had resigned
yesterday, after their parties loss in the Thursday
general election. Reacting, Governor Fayose said;
“Alhaji Mu’azu should be honourable enough to
follow the same path as the British LP and
Democrats leaders.
“Mu’azu’s case is even worse than that of the
British party leaders, who resigned immediately
their party lost because majority of PDP members
no longer have confidence in his (Mu’azu)
leadership and there is no way a willing leader
can be forced on an unwilling followers.”
Speaking further, the governor said; “This is not
about any personality and I am also not
operating here on empty boast because Ekiti
State was delivered to the PDP 100 percent.
“Rather, it is about issues. Imagine the PDP not
getting up to five percent of the votes in Bauchi
State, the National Chairman’s home state and
someone is still not being honourable enough to
resign.
“Haven’t we now seen what operates in saner
climes with the resignation of the British LP and
Democrat leaders? Shouldn’t our party National
Chairman also take a cue from this and allow for
fresh minds to steer the ship of the party at this
difficult time?
“Methinks leaders in this country should learn
from their counterparts in other climes because
like I said earlier, when a war commander leads
his troop to an embarrassing defeat, such
commander does not need anyone to tell him that
he needs to leave the war front for another
commander to take over.”
