The embattled national chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Muázu has finally resigned.
In a letter to the Deputy National Chairman of the party today, Prince Uche Secondus, Muázu said that due to the disastrous performance of the party in the March 28 presidential election won by the opposition, it has become imperative for him to quit the stage so that peace may reign in the party.
He requested that Secondus should assume the office as the party’s Acting National Chairman.
There have been pressure mounted on Muázu since the election in which the party lost to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari won the election.
Following the new development, the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) has summoned an emergency meeting. [myad]
