'Our party full of injustice" - PDP Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, came hard on the political party on Tuesday, saying it was “full of injustice.”

He said this was one of the reasons some PDP members defected to opposition political parties like the All Progressives Congress, the Labour Party and the All Progressive Grand Alliance.

Mu’azu spoke at the inauguration of the Senator Amodu Ali-led PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation in Abuja.

The event, which was held at the Legacy Building, Maitama, was attended by President Goodluck Jonathan, a few governors and members of the National Working Committee of the party.

Mu’azu, who received a standing ovation from the guests after his speech, turned to Jonathan and said, “Mr. President, I want you to discuss with your governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives and other elected officials.

“We say that members of the PDP should not be used and dumped again. People leave the party because of lack of equity or injustice.

“Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop. That must stop. This time round, monkey must work and monkey must eat.

“A lot of people who left (our party) did so because of injustice in our party. The party is full of injustice.

“The membership of the APC, LP, APGA and others are increasing because of this. All these members are from our party. We must find out what is wrong and correct it.”

As soon as he said this, the gathering stood up and clapped for him.
