The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu has promised that he will become an attack dog as an opposition leader so as to give the All Progressives Congress (APC), a run for their money as they take over the reigns of power at the federal level.
Mu’azu made the declaration while answering questions from journalists in Umuahia, Abia State, after his visit to Governor Theodore Orji yesterday night,. He went on to promise that the PDP would give a tough opposition to APC from May 29 after the latter takes over power.
He said, “By the special grace of God, we will give them a run for their money; that I can assure you under my leadership despite that I am accused of not being an attack dog. They will understand it later. I will wait until such a time when God gives me the opportunity; then they will know whether or not I am an attack dog.”
Muazu also said the PDP would undergo rebranding under his leadership so as to be able to reclaim its lost mandate.
He said, “The PDP National Working Committee, under my supervision, will be able to rebrand the party, redirect the party, and ensure that the party takes up its national and state leadership position.
“The mistakes we have made individually and collectively will be analysed by a committee and pass to us for implementation to ensure success in subsequent elections.
“Unfortunately for them, the responsibility as to whether we succeed or fail, does not solely rest on the National Working Committee. However, I have repeatedly said it that success has too many fathers and brothers too. Failure has non. I have taken full and total responsibility for whatever has happened to the party now. I believe in God. And I also believe in destiny and I also believe that power and glory belong to the Almighty God.
“He gives to whom he wants when he wants. Therefore, he has taken it from us. We give thanks to him all the same today and in the future, and forever, we will remain thankful unto him. I assure you that we are under test by God and God will not let us fail. We will succeed. We will pass this test”.
Punch reports that Muazu had a meeting with Abia State governor, Chieg Theodore Orji, where he expressed concern over the manipulation of results in some quarters to rob PDP of victory in the Abia governorship poll but vowed that the party would vigorously resist such moves.
