Fresh demands by members of the Peoples Democratic Party,
including Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for the resignation of the party’s
national chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, have been overtaken by events and should
not be subject of discussion, Spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar Campaign
Organisation, Charles Aniagwu, said on Wednesday.
According to him, since PDP has a law, it should be followed
and not thrown away as if it is a party not governed by law.
Aniagwu, who is also Delta State Commissioner for
Information, said this in an interview with The Punch.
He was responding to questions on the meeting between Atiku
and Makinde, where the governor insisted on the resignation of Ayu, even though
the National Executive Committee has passed a vote of confidence on him.
Aniagwu was also asked why Atiku, presidential candidate of
PDP has not responded to the demand by governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State for
the exit of Ayu, more than two weeks he had promised to act in that regard.
He said, “I am sure that the NEC of the party has resolved
those issues particularly within the provisions of the law. And before now, a
statement was issued where the presidential candidate also addressed a number
of those issues.
“We have a law which cannot be thrown away and begin to do
as if we are not a party governed by law.
“It must also be said that Makinde recognized him (Atiku) as
the presidential candidate of the party and he said by the grace of God, the
next President of Nigeria.
“For him to be the President of Nigeria, it shows that
Makinde will work for him. That is the implication.
“Ayu’s going has been overtaken by events. It is something
that has already been addressed.”
