The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Adamu Mu’azu has said that his resignation will lead to the end of the party.

Mu’azu, speaking through his Special Adviser on Media, Tony Amadi, made the statement on Sunday, May 10, 2015, during an interview with Punch.

“Why are these people trying to create problems for themselves and the outgoing President? The President has said let us sheathe our swords; that is why we have not said anything for the past one week and we obeyed the President. He is our leader; why are they doing this?” Mu’azu asked.

“I thought that we have finished elections, we have got a President-elect and we are going to hand over to the President-elect. Why are they taking us back? Please, let them cool down, Mu’azu is not the problem,” he added.

Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose and ex-minister, Femi Fani-Kayode are among those calling for Mu’azu’s resignation.

Fayose also accused the PDP Chairman of working for the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the elections.
