Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has ridiculed the
embattled former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Iyiorchia
Ayu, following his suspension from the party by the Benue State branch of the
PDP.
Wike, who spoke on Tuesday (today), during the commissioning
of the first phase of the Trans-Kalabari road in Degema Local Government Area
of Rivers State, said Ayu cannot preside over them in the party, especially as
he failed to win election in his unit, ward and state.
“Ayu said nobody can suspend him, but today he has packed
out from the office. We have an active chairman now. I told him, you will go,
whether he likes it or not.
“Those lawyers telling you that the Ward has no power to
suspend you, that it is only NEC, then you don’t understand. When you came, it
was the Ward that suspended Secondus. And you went and took office, it is now
that you know that it is only NEC that can suspend.
“Let me tell you since they’ve not told you, the court has
struck out that section of our constitution to say that NEC only can suspend
the National Chairman. So you don’t know what you are talking about. PDP did
not even appeal the judgment. So, forget, your own is gone. You must be wasting
your time.”
The Rivers Governor said he will continue to fight for Ayu’s
removal till the end of his administration, adding that, “We are ready for the
battle. I’m not from Benue but I have interest, that interest is that Ayu must
go. And I’m going to carry it till May 29 when I leave the office.”
A High Court in Makurdi, the Benue State Capital, had
restrained Ayu from parading himself as the National Chairman of the PDP.
Ayu, on Tuesday, stepped aside in compliance with the court
order.
