He is a quantity surveyor by prefession,a business man and politician.A former governor of Bauchi State between 1999 and 2007.Tested and trusted in the areas of human management and administration.Currently he occupies the exaulted position of the National Chairman of Africa's largest political party.His name is Alhaji Adamu Mu'azu,the National Chairman of the People's Democratic Party.
He became the National Chairman of the PDP during a period when the party needed some rebuilding,repositioning and restrategising.Eminent Nigerians presented themselves for the top job,but as fate had destined it,he emerged as the most popular choice.During his inauguration,he gave an insight into the role he was going to play as party chairman.He said''As i take over as chairman of our great party.I want to assure you of my determined efforts and total commitment to restoring the lost glory of the PDP with your total support.I have helplessly watched the dwindling fortunes of our party from 2003 to date.From controlling a record 28 States in 1999 down to 23 States currently.This situation is unacceptable and MUST CHANGE.The good people of Nigeria still love the PDP as long as we meet their expectations and aspirations.Nigeria is PDP and PDP is Nigeria''
Upon assumption of office,the new Chairman embarked on consultations and called on aggrieved party members to retrace their steps.During a meeting with Sule Lamido,governor of Jigawa State,he said''I have come to look at all the problems that made our party reduce in size and number,whatever injustice that have been done,we shall be couragous enough to address them.We are putting in place a very high level committee for reconciliation because we have to reconcile ourselves.We want you to accompany us to all the people that have been offended so we can say sorry.Not even a fool will leave a home as beautiful as the PDP,nobody can leave this house,a house he built.We appeal to all our brothers who left the party to come back.Our doors are open.We want you to talk to them on our behalf ahead of our visit''.
If anyone thought Adamu Mu'azu was merely boasting when he made this declarations,then the reality on ground is a testimony against such individual.His moves,strategies and efficiency are already yielding results.The number of defections by APC chieftains and eminent Nigerians into the PDP family confirms the fact that he is working.Among those who have joined the PDP are;Ibrahim Shekarau,Attahiru Bafarawa,Achike Udenwa,all former governors.Others are Senator Ifeanyi Araraume,Senator Gbemi Saraki,Mike Ahamba(SAN),Dele Belgore and Mr Makus Gundiri.5 members of the House of Representatives also recently decamped from the APC to the PDP,giving the party a clear majority in the House at a period when the opposition almost took over leadership of the House.
Within this short period of Mu'azu's leadership,peace,unity and stability is returning to the party as its fortunes continue to change for the better.With this type of leadership,the PDP's chances in 2015 remains bright.Long live PDP,long live Nigeria.
