We’re humbled by Jonathan’s defeat – PDP

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party,
Alhaji Adamu Muazu, has admitted that the party was
humbled by the loss.
The defeat notwithstanding, Muazu, who is fondly
nicknamed ‘the Game Changer’ by his party faithful, has
assured Nigerians that the PDP will be reformed to meet the
expectations of its members and Nigerians.
According to the chairman, the ruling party has learnt
lessons from its defeat and will never again let Nigerians
down when it bounces back to power.
The chairman’s position was contained in a series of
tweets he posted on his twitter handle #AM, and

In one of the posts, Muazu said, “We are humbled by the
28th of March decision of many Nigerians and promise
never again let you down. We will reform our party.
“We have learnt some very useful lessons with the March
28th elections and we want to assure Nigerians you will
see a new PDP.
It will be recalled that the ruling party was defeated by
opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, on the March
28 elections, which have thrown up former military ruler,
Muhammadu Buhari, as the president-in-waiting and
majority of members in the Senate and House of
Representatives.
The development has halted calculations in the camp of the
PDP, which had boasted that it would rule Nigeria for at
least 60 years before ceding power to another party in the
country.
With the conceding of defeat by President Goodluck
Jonathan before the announcement of Buhari as the
president-elect last Wednesday, the president might has
foreclosed the idea of his party challenging the outcome of
the election, which most of the international observers
declared as credible and peaceful.
But the PDP has promised to return to the drawing board
and return in a more formidable way in 2019 to take over
from the APC.
