A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu has denied betraying immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan.
In a statement on his Facebook page, the former Bauchi governor said Nigerians, especially Northerners decided to vote Jonathan out.
He said this while reacting to insinuations in some quarters that he betrayed Jonathan and the PDP during the 2015 elections.

The statement said, “Ordinarily, I would have ignored the allegation that I betrayed President Jonathan and my party, but doing so could create the impression that I really did.
“I find it difficult to believe that President Jonathan would level such allegation against me. How can one betray himself?
“As the then National Chairman of the PDP, I have been at the forefront of the presidential campaign train. Those who insinuate that I betrayed President Jonathan and my party are being economical with the truth.
“In the face of abuse, insult and open ridicule by our friends and brothers we supported President Jonathan faithfully.
“In all sincerity, I gave my best and all to my party. Those who blame us for not delivering maximum votes to the former President in the north seem to have forgotten that it is the people who vote.”
