Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s Pioneer National Woman leader and member, PDP Board of Trustees, BoT, Iyom Josephine Anenih has demanded for the resignation of Alhaji Adamu Muazu and the National Working Committee due to the defeat by the All Progressives Congress, APC during the March 28 Presidential election .

She spoke to Vanguard and questioned why some party members now, will be thinking of personal power, she stressed that the PDP should only be thinking of a way to come back after the woefull defeat they suffered on the hands of the APC.



Anenih accused the Board of Trustees, BoT of the party for failing to play its role and said that the PDP needs to put their selves in Check as no governor, minister was bigger than the party.

She said, “The instinct to focus on reclaiming power is a false, unproductive one. Let us reclaim our identity first, and articulate our vision for the future before any thought can be given to the pursuit of power.

The Party must be supreme and higher than ALL elected officials and their self serving interests. We must embrace the fact that The Party is bigger than the President, Governors, Senators, Representatives, and Ministers. If we can do this, we may have lost an election but we will find that we have once again found the Soul of a Great, truly Nigerian Party.”

The former Minister of Women Affairs said in a statement titled, ” Put the party first, said, “I have watched with a heavy heart the slow but almost certain destruction of our great Party under the knives and axes of those entrusted with its care. One would have thought the recent heavy losses the PDP suffered at the Presidential, National Assembly, Gubernatorial and State Assemblies would be reason enough for quiet introspection, but instead our Party leaders – having failed to defeat the APC – have turned to cannibals intent on devouring their own.

“The strength of a country in a nascent democracy such as ours is defined by the quality of the Opposition and the depth and maturity of political discourse, not just by the party in power. Yes, we have suffered a great defeat, but within this loss lies the opportunity to rediscover what made us great in the first place. The truth is that the PDP has lost its identity, we buried it beneath the hubris and vanity that comes with unrestrained power. We boasted we would rule for 60 years; we claimed no vacancy exists in Aso Rock. How wrong we were. We have been humbled by Nigerians who trooped to their polling units and chose to follow another path.

“In our humility, we must learn that as politicians we serve the people. The PDP, and those who want to see it recover from this near fatal defeat, need to do three things, quickly: The PDP needs a major policy review. The framework and thrust of the review should be geared towards an ideology anchored on developing and sustaining an egalitarian society that provides the simple things, to everyone: health, food, shelter, education, jobs.

” The National Chairman and the NWC have to resign. Not because any godfather or governor is demanding that they do, but because it is the right and honourable thing. We have just emerged from the elections with the worst results we have ever recorded.

The Chairman is the leader of the Party; he took the PDP into the General Elections and now, as a matter of principle, he must step aside for others to conduct an audit of the defeat he oversaw. It pains me to say this, because I know Adamu Muazu on a personal level. He is a fine gentleman and one of the few politicians who is compassionate and truly cares about the lives of those less privileged than themselves. Events and personalities conspired to sabotage the blueprint he had developed for the Party.

Life is hardly ever fair, but we must start to hold ourselves responsible and accountable for everything placed in our care. So I call on Muazu, my respected friend, to resign. As a member of the Board of Trustees, I think the PDP BOT also failed to live up to its responsibility as the Conscience of the Party. Where was the BOT’s voice when our Primaries were being rigged and we were losing disgruntled members to other Parties? Where was the BOT when our leaders were PUBLICLY asking people to vote for other parties in all elections apart from the Presidential election?

” Finally, we need to realize that our constituency now includes millions of young, upwardly mobile Nigerians who want to have more of a say in how their country is run. We can provide them with the platform. We need to restructure our Party if we are to survive as a credible Opposition Party. I believe we can only do so if we tap into the limitless energy, creativity, and passion of young Nigerians.”

Adamu Muazu had earlier today, stated that if he leaves the party, the party will fail to exist.

U r part of the PDP problem(s) so pls stop blaming the chairman along. When u fail to work with the head u join in the suffering.

Before the PDP starts playing opposition, they should first weed out all saboteurs ..

PDP members are hell-bent on making Mu'azu the scapegoat of their disastrous outing in the 2015 general election. Beside, why is Josephine Anenih not calling for the removal of her husband who happens to be the BOT chairman and the total dissolution of the entire BOT since she can readily admit that the BOT failed and contributed to the party's failure.

Adamu Muazu should quietly resign and gooooooo

The resignation of Adamu Muazu is just the beginning of the extinction of the party. Cos there is no more authority at the center that will impose the candidacy of any new leader leading to the party being factionalized.

The continuity of Adamu Muazu as the party leader remains the continuation of the doom that has befallen the party because in few months time, the party will be divided between Muazu's lover and the members craving for his exit as the leader of the party.

[b]in short, PDP is on the verge of nomenclatural and partizan extinction!

Nigeria's Jonathan says friends abandoned him after defeat

This article is full of facts. I never knew this lady is this intelligent. I had underated her as one of those privileged thieves who misfortune of bad governance as navigated by Obasanjo trusted on us but reading this article has changed my opinion about her as someone whose talent was fallow on the alter of defending what she believed(I.e her party and govt.)
To the topic, Muazu as a matter of principle and morale ought to resign to give room for unbiased assessment of the party and her sojourn in the past 16years.
PDP needs restructuring and should regain her identity and reconcile all her true members. They should give the youth a direction as started by the president outgoing.
Iyom Anenih said the truth. If only the wolves in the party will tell themselves some plain truth

Pdp is already Dead

Muazu is not going anywhere..Ask the former chairman....
