The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has claimed that
the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, does
not want to resign because he wants to continue overseeing the party’s
finances.
Wike stated this over the weekend at a media parley in Port
Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.
The Governor and his associates have been calling for Ayu to
resign, insisting that it is against PDP’s constitution for the national
chairman and the presidential candidate to come from the same zone.
Ayu is from Benue (North Central), while the party’s
presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, hails from Adamawa (North East).
Wike had also accused the PDP national chairman of being
“very corrupt” and not being accountable for the money that enters the party’s
coffers.
“Why does he not want to resign? He is hoping that Nigerians
will donate money to the party so he will superintendent over that money.
“He has already finished the one of N11 billion from the
party’s primaries. Account for it, he says it is in the account. Show the
public the account. Print out the statement of account of PDP and let the world
see how the N11 billion was expended.
“And this is the party that all of us have laboured to take
over power from the ruling party that we said has done badly. And then the
national chairman will open his mouth to talk about stopping contestants.
“Ayu shouldn’t say so. He tried it in Rivers state. He came
to manipulate and try to put some gubernatorial aspirants, but he saw the
result. We dealt with him,” Wike said.
