Adamu Mu’azu, former chairman of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had a private meeting with Vice-President
Yemi Osinbajo at the presidential villa in Abuja on Wednesday.
Muazu, popularly referred to as
the “game changer”, arrived at the vice-president’s wing of Aso Rock hours
after Osinbajo accompanied President Muhammadu Buhari to the national assembly
for the presentation of the 2019 budget.
A presidential source described
the meeting as “strategic”, saying it is in connection with Muazu’s plan to
defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Another source said he visited
the presidential villa to thank the nation’s number two citizen for attending
his daughter’s wedding (pictured) in Bauchi at the weekend.
Approached by state house
correspondents, Muazu refused to
disclose details of his meeting with the vice-president.
He had resigned as chairman of
the former ruling party following the defeat of the PDP in the 2015
general election.
Former President Goodluck
Jonathan had accused Muazu of working against him in the last presidential
election.
In the book, ‘Against the Run of
Play’, written by Segun Adeniyi, chairman of THISDAY editorial board, Jonathan
alleged that Muazu conspired with his opponents.
“I felt really betrayed by the
result from some northern states. Perhaps for ethnic purposes, even security
agents colluded with the opposition to come up with spurious results against
me,” Jonathan said.
“What happened was very sad not
for me as a person, but for our democracy. Take, for instance, the PDP national
chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu. I believe he joined in the conspiracy against
me. For reasons best known to him, he helped to sabotage the election in favour
of the opposition.”
Muazu had denied the allegation.
