Presidency doubts Mu’azu’s loyalty –Investigation

There were indications that the
Presidency may have put the
National Chairman of the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji
Adamu Mu’azu, under close watch,
The Punch has learnt.
It was learnt that the Presidency
was not comfortable with the
activities of the chairman of the
ruling party as some members of
the party were said to have
informed President Goodluck
Jonathan of the alleged double-
faced activities of Mu’azu.
It was learnt that the Presidency
took the action following reports
against the former Governor of
Bauchi State, Mallam Isa Yuguda
that he was not fully committed to
the second term aspiration of
President Jonathan.
Those against him were said to
have informed the President and
members of his kitchen cabinets
that Mu’azu did not take any action
following the stoning of the
President’s convoy in some states
in the North.
Specifically, he was said to have
kept quiet over the stoning of the
President’s vehicle in his home
state.
The sad event in the state was
blamed on the opposition party,
the All Progressives Congress, but
the state Governor, Yuguga said
that those who stoned the
President were sponsored by the
Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, Bala Muhammed.
The minister is a member of the
ruling party.
The Presidency source said, “You
can see that Mu’azu has not been
vociferous in his campaign for the
President in the North.
“He has never organised any rally
on his own and has never attended
any other except those organised
by the party which were attended
by the President.
“He has remained silent on the
stoning of the President’s convoy
in Taraba, Katsina and Taraba states.
We have this unclear notion that
he’s more interested in having a
President from his region than
President Jonathan returning. So,
we are watching him.”
The source said the sign that
Mu’azu could be up to a sinister
motive emerged on the day the
President inaugurated the party’s
Presidential Campaign Council.
“Instead of speaking on the task
ahead of the party and the
campaign, Mu’azu in the full glare
of the television and invited
guests, lambasted the President
and the party,” he added.
