Fayose, Bode George, others reacts over resignation of NWC members

The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has said the resignation of the Bot Chairman, Tony Anineh is a welcome development, adding that it will help in the repositioning of the party.

Bode George, another PDP chieftain commended the PDP Chairman, Mu’azu for leaving honorably, which he said would enable the party investigate what really happened during the last election.

According to Fayose, “The resignation is a welcome development. We see it as paving way for total repositioning of the

party for its new role post-May 29.

“The normal thing is for leadership of a political party to resign after losing a major election. The PDP which held power at the centre for 16 years can’t be different. The chairman ought not to have waited for people to question his continuing in office before throwing in the towel. PDP is bigger than every one of us. The party can now move forward.”

Bode George

Chief Bode George, erstwhile Deputy National Chairman of the party in his reaction commended Mu‘azu for his action saying that it would enable the party to investigate what happened during the election.

He, however, described Anenih’s resignation as a shock to him even as he called on party stakeholders to rally together to push the party forward.

It’ll help move PDP forward—Akitoye

A former acting national secretary of the party, Chief Remi Akitoye said Mu’azu’s resignation would help reposition and move the party forward. Akitoye said:

“It is a good development, it will help move and reposition the party”.

He did his best —Senator Uzamere

Commending the PDP chairman, the Senator representing Edo South Senatorial District, Senator Ehigie Edobor Uzamere said:

“I see that he has done the right thing by resigning voluntarily. He cited health reasons and we accept it. He has done his best.”

He has done an honourable thing – Babatope

On his part, a member of the Board of Trustees, (BOT) of the PDP, Chief Ebenezer Babatope said: “Mu’azu has done an honourable thing by resigning and I believe strongly that the party will move forward and play its role as the opposition party to the APC”.

The wishes of people prevailed – Opara

Also, a former deputy speaker of House of Representatives, Mr Austin Opara said:

“It is a good development for the party and it is an honourable thing that Mu’azu has resigned. The wishes of the people have prevailed and now the party will be able to reposition itself ahead of future elections. I believe his resignation is good for our democracy”.

His resignation makes PDP a regional party—Tsav

A retired Police Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, said:

“I think he has acted very wisely because those urging him to resign felt he is the problem of PDP. Unfortunately those who championed the calls for his resignation were the ones that are supposed to leave the PDP. I am talking about people like Fani-Kayode and Ayo Fayose, whose conducts were embarrassing during the campaign.

“His resignation has turned the PDP into a regional and tribal party because the North no longer has any top member in the PDP leadership. Now that he has resigned, lets see what becomes of the party.”

NWC should also resign—Filani

Chief Ishola Filani, in his reaction, said the NWC members should resign along with Mu’azu.

Filani, a chairman of the South West zonal caretaker committee said:

“That was patriotic of him and I hope that other members of the NWC will follow suit because he (Mu’azu) should not be the only person to make sacrifice. The failure was collective, other members should resign, including the state executives.”
