The war of words between the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Adamu Mu’azu and Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose over the latter asking Mu’azu to resign his seat as chairman seems to be growing deeper as Mu’azu has dared members threatening him to factionalise the party.

Muazu, who disclosed this on Sunday through his Special Adviser on Media, Tony Amadi vowed not to resign despite the threat of some members to factionalise the party claiming that the PDP would be buried if he resigns.

Reacting to the threat by some members to form a PDP faction should Mu’azu remain in office, Amadi said they should go and form their parallel party and they will see where they are going to get their votes from.

“The only reason Mu’azu doesn’t want to resign is because if he does, those who want the PDP buried will succeed,” he said.

He also criticized Governor Fayose and other chieftains of the party calling for his resignation.

“Why are these people trying to create problems for themselves and the outgoing President? The President has said let us sheathe our swords; that is why we have not said anything for the past one week and we obeyed the President. He is our leader; why are they doing this?

“I thought that we have finished elections, we have got a President-elect and we are going to hand over to the President-elect. Why are they taking us back? Please, let them cool down, Mu’azu is not the problem,” he said.

Well as predictable, Fayose responding to it said “The PDP cannot break under any circumstance. Secondly, Mu’azu as chairman or not, cannot and will not break the PDP. Mu’azu is not a force enough to break PDP.”

“How can a man who cannot win his ward, local government and state say the PDP will be buried if he resigns?” he asked.
