These two guys are never going to stop going at it, are they? According to the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adamu Mu’azu, had a secret meeting with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu before the Ekiti state gubernatorial election.
Fayose believes that Mu’azu was never fully committed to the party all along, especially when he was most needed by the PDP.
During a programme on Channels TV on Monday, the governor also alleged that the PDP Chairman was not in the country on the day of the Presidential elections.
“Shortly before my election, he (Mu’azu) was to see me and I waited for him in his house for about five hours and then he came out to say he was sorry and that we should give him space. He said the Yoruba people should give him some space because he was expecting someone who did not want to see any Yoruba man.”
“I left his house but kept a tab on him. His house is like a ring road and I came back to find out who had come to see him and the person was Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. That is the truth.
When I returned to his house, he told me that I should not be annoyed that it was Tinubu that came to visit him. I was worried because the Ekiti election was just five days away and I almost lost my breath.”
“The day the presidential election held, the chairman was not in the country. On the day the names of our candidates were to be submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, our chairman was in Lagos, on his way to Singapore.”
“I was with President Jonathan on that day and I told him to call him. The President did not know that Mu’azu was in Lagos on his way to Singapore. Even when he travelled recently, he said he had a problem with his left hand and wanted to travel abroad for treatment.”
“However, he called some people and told them that he had deceived the President. You must be consistent in character. I am saying everything on camera; let him come out to deny these allegations. I don’t want to be in a PDP where we have betrayers of all sorts.”
