Blame Mu’azu, PDP govs for Jonathan’s woes -N’Delta youths

1

Youths in the Niger Delta region have accused the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adamu Muazu, and governors elected on the platform of the party of being behind President Goodluck Jonathan’s poor rating ahead of the 2015 general election.

The youths, who spoke under the aegis of the Niger Delta Youth Parliament, said the imposition of candidates by the PDP governors and the lack of internal democracy was responsible for the mass defection from the party to the All Progressives Congress.

National Coordinator of the group, Mr. Imoh Okoko, told our correspondent in a telephone interview that the entire Niger Delta was worried that the manipulations carried out by Muazu and the second term governors had adversely affected the political fortunes of President Jonathan.

Okoko specifically said in an interview with The PUNCH on Monday that the outgoing governors were only interested in supporting their successors and not for the success of the President at the poll.

He observed that the PDP national chairman was not able to address the injustices in the party since he assumed the position and added that the situation had increased the level of acceptance of the APC presidential candidate, Muhamadu Buhari.
