PDP Governors Set To Dump Party Over Mu'azu

-
Rumours are rife that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors have concluded plans to dump the party over the refusal of the National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, to throw in the towel amidst protests from the state chief executives.

Peoples Daily reports that there is possible break-up of the party in the nearest future as the governors seem to have had a enough and are willing to form a new party.

In a meeting they held last week, the PDP governors resolved to either force Mu’azu out of the party or leave the party. They were said to have met with President Goodluck Jonathan after their meeting, to brief him of their plan to ensure the Mu’azu loses his job.

It was gathered that some of the governors are already in Abuja for other round of meeting summoned by their Chairman and Akwa-Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio, to determine Mu’azu’s fate.

Meanwhile, reports had emerged that the governors have a “Plan B” which is to completely abandon the party, they are set execute the plan in the event of Mu’Azu’s refusal to resign, especially before President Jonathan vacates his seat on the 29th of May 2015.

The PDP Chairman is currently not in Nigeria even as there are insinuations that Mu’azu is hoping to keep his seat as a way of boosting his political profile ahead of the 2019 elections, when he is rumoured to have interest in contesting for the presidency.

Senior Pastor of the Awaiting The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ Gospel Church, Adewale Giwa has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to offer victims of xenophobia automatic jobs with a view to making life comfortable for them while in Nigeria. In a statement signed and made available to DAILY POST on Monday, the cleric said the gesture would go a long way to encourage other Nigerians in South Africa who were yet to make up their minds. About 400 Nigerians are said to have returned to the country following the Federal Government’s directive that all victims of xenophobia are free to return. However, Giwa said, “The Federal government led by President Muhammadu Buhari should please offer automatic jobs to all the victims of xenophobia in South Africa. “You cannot just ask someone to come home without making sure that they have something tangible to do to feed their family members. “We all know that this government is still struggling to provide jobs for the people at hom...
