We Were Humbled By Jonathan's Defeat - Adamu Mu'azu

Still trying to recover from the defeat
suffered by his party in the Presidential and
National Assembly elections last week, National
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji
Adamu Muazu, has admitted that the party was
humbled by the loss.

The defeat notwithstanding, Muazu, who is fondly
nicknamed ‘the Game Changer’ by his party
faithful, has assured Nigerians that the PDP will be
reformed to meet the expectations of its members
and Nigerians.

According to the chairman, the ruling party has
learnt lessons from its defeat and will never again
let Nigerians down when it bounces back to
power.

The chairman’s position was contained in a series
of tweets he posted on his twitter handle #AM, and
@Muazuaa

In one of the posts, Muazu said, “We are humbled
by the 28th of March decision of many Nigerians
and promise never again let you down. We will
reform our party.


“We have learnt some very useful lessons with the
March 28th elections and we want to assure
Nigerians you will see a new PDP.

It will be recalled that the ruling party was defeated
by opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, on
the March 28 elections, which have thrown up
former military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari, as the
president-in-waiting and majority of members in
the Senate and House of Representatives.

The development has halted calculations in the
camp of the PDP, which had boasted that it would
rule Nigeria for at least 60 years before ceding
power to another party in the country.

With the conceding of defeat by President
Goodluck Jonathan before the announcement of
Buhari as the president-elect last Wednesday, the
president might has foreclosed the idea of his
party challenging the outcome of the election,
which most of the international observers declared
as credible and peaceful.

But the PDP has promised to return to the drawing
board and return in a more formidable way in 2019
to take over from the APC.
