Press Statement, PDP Chairman, Adamu Muazu, not a Pathological Liar

The attention of the office of the National Chairman of the Peoples

Democratic Party (PDP) *Ahmadu Adamu Muazu, **CON* has been drawn to a

press interview by the Secretary to the State Government of Borno State

Ambassador Baba Ahmed.
In an interview posted in one of the online portals, Sahara Reporters on

Thursday 29th May 2014 in which Ambassador Baba Ahmed denied the letter of

advice from the Federal Ministry of Education advising the Government of

Borno State and other states in the region because of security situation

not to conduct WAEC or NECO Examination outside of Maiduguri, the Borno

State Capital is a clear acceptance of the lopsided approach by the

Government in Borno State to fight insurgency in the area.

The National Chairman of the PDP ordinarily will not like to join issues

with any Nigerian especially not with Ambassador Baba Ahmed but as an elder

statesman and a stakeholder in this administration, we wish to state again

that for us to win the fight against terror in Nigeria, we must all close

ranks irrespective of party affiliations and heed to all popular advice

from any agency of government to curtail the activities of the Boko Haram

Sect.
We wish to state again that other states in the region which adhered to

this advice from WAEC and the Federal Ministry of Education where able to

conduct WAEC/NECO in their States capital peacefully. We owe our people the

collective duty to protect and provide for them and we wish to once again

advice the Government and stakeholders in Borno State and indeed all

Nigerians to cooperate with government at all levels to stop this spate of

violence.
While we respect the office of the Secretary to the State Government and

the person of Ambassador Baba Ahmed, a highly respectable Nigerian who has

served the state and the country meritoriously, we wish again to advice

Baba Ahmed to put his tenses together when addressing a public figure and

the person and office of Ahmed Adamu Muazu, CON, a former Governor of

Bauchi State and, the Chairman of the largest Party in Black Africa.

Adamu Muazu is definitely not a Pathological liar as referred to by Baba

Ahmed, rather, he is a man highly revered by his people, a man of

integrity, a refined politician and a gentleman.
Finally, we wish to call on the members of the Boko-Haram Sect to embrace

the amnesty extended to them by the Federal Government, drop their arms and

join hands with all Nigerians and President Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR to

continue to build the #NigeriaOfOurDream as there is no alternative to

democracy. Our mandate is transformation and transformation is on course.

Nigeria is one, nothing can divide us.
