Former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, has insisted that he worked hard to ensure electoral victory for the former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, but that he was voted out of office by Nigerians.
He said: “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.”
Adamu Mu’azu, who was reacting to the former President’s allegation in a new book: “Against the Run of Play” written by Olusegun Adeniyi, that he (Mu’azu) and some other trusted allies worked against his re-election said: “in the face of abuse, insult and open ridicule by our friends and brothers we supported President Jonathan faithfully.”
Mu’azu who is also former Governor of Bauchi State, on his Facebook account, said that he found it difficult to believe that President Jonathan would level such allegation against him.
“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.
“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.” [myad]
