Wike Says PDP BoT’s Support To Allow Ayu Remain Until After Elections Ridiculous
RIVERS State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has disagreed with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) over its decision to allow the party’s embattled National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, to remain in office until after next year’s general elections, describing the decision as ridiculous.
Speaking to journalists at the international wing of the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, on his arrival from a brief trip to Spain, Wike said: “To say he should make another commitment that he will resign after the elections, for me, BoT’s resolution is ridiculous.”
The governor accused Ayu of failing to inform the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) of the N1billion he received on behalf of the party, saying: “Luckily for me, Ayu has now mentioned that he went to the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, the Wazirin of Adamawa, where they discussed the issues of borrowing.
“Now, the question is, when you talk about borrowing, who approves borrowing? You must go to the NWC to say you want to borrow money.
“I challenge him to bring the records where NWC approved that the party should go and borrow N1billion. What is the collateral?”
