Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, is out with more damning allegations against Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, the PDP National Chairman detailing on the secret meeting between Tinibu and the chair.

Fayose in his latest allegation claimed he is privy to a secret meeting between Mu’azu and the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

The governor made the revelation on Monday, May 11, 2015, during a programme on Channels TV titled: ‘View from the Top.’

Below is Fayose’s account detailing how the alleged secret meeting between Mu’azu and Tinubu transpired:

“Shortly before my election, he (Mu’azu) was to see me and I waited for him in his house for about five hours and then he came out to say he was sorry and that we should give him space. He said the Yoruba people should give him some space because he was expecting someone who did not want to see any Yoruba man.

“I left his house but kept a tab on him. His house is like a ring road and I came back to find out who had come to see him and the person was Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. That is the truth. When I returned to his house, he told me that I should not be annoyed that it was Tinubu that came to visit him. I was worried because the Ekiti election was just five days away and I almost lost my breath.

“The day the presidential election held, the chairman was not in the country. On the day the names of our candidates were to be submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, our chairman was in Lagos, on his way to Singapore.

“I was with President Jonathan on that day and I told him to call him. The President did not know that Mu’azu was in Lagos on his way to Singapore. Even when he traveled recently, he said he had a problem with his left hand and wanted to travel abroad for treatment. However, he called some people and told them that he had deceived the President. You must be consistent in character. I am saying everything on camera; let him come out to deny these allegations. I don’t want to be in a PDP where we have betrayers of all sorts,” Fayose said.

Fayose had earlier urged the party’s national chairman to resign by emulating the British Labour Party leader, Ed Miliband, as well as Liberal Democrats leader, Nick Clegg, who resigned after their parties defeat at the polls.

Mu’azu, while reacting to Fayose’s allegations, denied ever meeting Tinubu. He advised the Ekiti governor to pay more attention on governing his state rather than chasing shadows.

In a reaction to the electoral woes suffered by the PDP at the presidential election, several chieftains of the party have been calling for Muazu’s removal over allegations that, he worked against the party during the 2015 general elections.
