Mu’azu plays fast one, trip stalls removal plot

The plot to sack national chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu and other members National Working Committee (NWC) has hit a setback following the continued absence of Mu‘azu, who is purportedly out of the country on a medical trip.

Mu‘azu’s expected return to Nigeria today (Tuesday) has reportedly been put on hold, also putting a hold on the meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, the only body that has the power, besides the National Convention, to discipline or remove a national officer of the party.

He is the one required to summon such a meeting.

As things stand, it does not look feasible that the embattled NWC members would oblige to call a meeting before May 29 when President Goodluck Jonathan would have stepped down from office.

The National Chairman, through the National Secretary, has the power to summon a meeting of NEC. In his absence, the deputy national chairman would summon a meeting. Mu’azu and his deputy, Prince Uche Secondus are, however, presently not in the country.

The last NEC meeting was held last September before the March and April elections.
