PDP Chairman, Adamu Mu'azu Held Secret Meeting Former President Olusegun Obasanjo

The new National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu' azu yesterday stormed Abeokuta where he had a 2.5-hour secret meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo at the latter's Hilltop Mansion. Mu'azu, who arrived Abeokuta around 3: 30p.m. in a convoy of 4 vehicles, headed straight for the meeting which ended at about 5:35pm. The meeting had in attendance Senator Andy Uba; former PDP National Auditor, Chief Bode Mustapha; and other associates of Obasanjo and Mu'azu.

The meeting is said to be connected to the crisis rocking the party as the ex-president had withdrawn himself from the activities of the party.But when Mu'azu was appointed last week, he had vowed to reconcile all aggrieved members. 

A governorship aspirant in the state, Kayode Amusan while speaking with newsmen, however said Mua'zu's visit was not unconnected with the crisis in the state chapter of the party. According to him,"Baba has ruled this nation for how many decades? So, you can't rule him out in this country. Of course, in a democratic dispensation, there must be re-grouping, there must be alignment and there must be re-alignment, and that is it. No matter what the disagreement, there is need for him to go round and put things together."
