Some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have continued to call for the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, over the party’s loss in the 2015 general elections.
Latest to join those calling for Mu’azu’s resignation is Alhaji Yinka Ajia, a chieftain of the party.
Ajia, who was a special adviser to a former national chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, called on the PDP national chairman to resign with immediate effect, Punch reports.
In a statement released on Thursday in Ilorin, the PDP chieftain accused Mu’azu of failing to mobilise the party for victory in the just concluded general elections.

He said: “The poor performance of the President in Bauchi State, the home of the PDP chairman, is another reason why the party should have a new leader.”
According to him, Mu’azu’s resignation was the first step that should be taken in the party’s reorganisation.
The call for the resignation of the National Chairman of the PDP, over the party’s loss at the polls has continued unabated.
Governors of the PDP had reportedly asked the national chairman and other members of the party’s National Working Committee to resign.
There are indications that Mu’azu might be replaced by an outgoing governor from the south-south region of the country, which could occur on or before May 29.
