Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has dared the National
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyorchia Ayu to suspend
the G-5 governors and see if the party would be able to withstand the storm
that will follow.
Speaking on Saturday, at the campaign flag-off rally of the
State PDP Campaign Council in Bori, Khana Local Government Area of the State,
Governor Wike boasted that the G-5 Governors are above the threat of
suspension.
“We are above that level that you think you can threaten
anybody; intimidate anybody with whatever illegal decision you have taken.”
“So, we are waiting for you to announce my own and any other
of my friend. Like I have said, when a man says you will not sleep, he too,
will he sleep? Will Ayu sleep? Will those his cohorts sleep? So don’t worry, we
have the capacity to pay back. We have the capacity to tell you that enough is
enough.”
Reacting to the dissolution of the Ekiti State executive
committee of the Iyorchia Ayu-led National Working Committee (NWC), Wike
described it as an act of tyranny that would be challenged in court.
He warned that the resort to despotism by the PDP National
Working Committee would not do the party any good in the forthcoming general
elections.
Governor Wike said that the reason why the dissolution of
the Ekiti State working committee would be challenged in court was that there
were still members of the PDP who believed in the rule of law and that the
party should respect its constitution.
“Let me also use this opportunity to say to Iyorchia Ayu and
his team, your dissolving Ekiti State Exco will not help you in anyway.
“Your suspending people will not help you in anyway. The
battle line has been fully drawn. As I speak to you, we will do everything
legally possible to challenge any decision we know is illegal.
“So, don’t think you can threaten people by saying so, so
persons have been suspended. Rubbish! Completely rubbish.”
He stressed that the Ayu-led NWC resort to tyranny would do
more damage to the PDP as far as the coming general election is concerned.
