The
national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Alhaji Adamu
Mu`azu and Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State Thursday took their
brawl to cyberspace with each deriding the other over their different
perspectives on the fate of the members of the National Working
Committee, NWC of the party.
Governor Fayose had recently
called for the resignation of Mu`azu as national chairman saying that it
was inexcusable that President Goodluck Jonathan could have lost in
Mu`azu’s home state of Bauchi with an incumbent PDP governor, minister
of Federal Capital Territory and the national chairman.
Fayose
had pressed on to say that he had evidence that Mu`azu was compromised
as national chairman and worked for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Thursday, Mu`azu responded on twitter saying: We hope it’s not the kind of evidence he once said he had that Buhari was dying?
Following
that, Mu`azu tweeted, challenging Fayose to come out with the evidence
“We challenge Governor Fayose to come out with the evidence that shows
National Chairman worked for APC during the elections.”
He
followed that with another tweet to buttress the support he gave to
Fayose as a candidate, “The National chairman campaigned for Governor
Fayose, defended him & was at his inauguration & will continue
to support him & Ekiti people.”
Fayose whose twitter account
handle had not been in use since April 29 responded within two hours
deriding Mu`azu for taking to cyberspace to engage him.
“Disloyalty:
A leader who takes to twitter to slight a party member but never did
the same with or to the opponent. God sees our hearts.”
He was to follow up with a series of tweets.
“PDP
will outlast many of us. The legacy of true politics is Service to the
People, loyalty to one’s Team and a clear Conscience before God,”
followed by “I appreciate the online community of PDP supporters and
will always champion our collective cause for a better Nigeria under
God.”
In a seeming rebuke to the national chairman for directing
his missiles at him, Fayose in another tweet urged the national
chairman thus, “Any strong words we have are reserved only for our
opponents and only in political season. This is now the time to unite
for PDP and Nigeria”
The tweet was against the background of
claims that the presidency and associates of President Goodluck Jonathan
were peeved by the refusal of Mu`azu to use strong words against the
APC’s presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.
