The National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu and the Board of Trustees Chairman, Chief
Tony Anenih, on Wednesday bowed to pressure from key members of the party to
resign.
Mu’azu, in a letter he tendered during the PDP
National Working Committee meeting in Abuja however cited “health grounds ” as
the reason for his resignation.
But Anenih, in a one-page letter to
President Goodluck Jonathan, hinged his action on the current state of affairs
in the party.
Mu’azu, a former governor of Bauchi State, had only
last week dismissed calls for his resignation and warned that the PDP would be
buried if he succumbed to the pressure.
Upon receipt of Muazu’s
letter, the Deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, took over as the
acting national chairman of the party, pending a replacement from the North-East,
where the party chairmanship is zoned to.
