The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate,
Atiku Abubakar has reacted to calls for the National Chairman of the party, Dr
Iyorchia Ayu to resign.
Recall that sequel to the selection of Governor Ifeanyi
Okowa as running mate of Atiku, members of the party who are loyalists of the
Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike had demanded Ayu’s resignation.
The call for his resignation came when Senator Ayu was
alleged to have been using his position as national chairman to undermine the
likes of Fayose, Ortom and others who earlier recommended Wike as the party’s
vice presidential candidate.
Speaking on the issue, Atike, who featured on Arise TV
programme, Morning Show on Friday, said the party chairman will automatically
step down when he emerge as the next Nigerian president.
He said, “Immediately I win this election, Senator Ayu will
automatically step down. We have had issues like this before. It is not the
first time PDP is having such crisis”.
Atiku insisted that Ayu will remain in power until he wins
the election, stressing that there has always been balancing of positions in
the party.
He said when the President happens to emerge from the North,
the position of chairman will automatically be zoned to South.
