Wike Discloses His Agreement With Atiku, Ayu, Says “This Fight We Will Fight It to the End”

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has said his agreement with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is that the party’s national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, will resign.

Wike said the only reason he is fighting Ayu and Atiku is that they failed to honour the gentleman’s agreement between the three of them, Channels Television reported.

The Rivers State governor revealed that the former vice president gave him his words in person that Ayu won the primary and that since he won the party’s primary in May, Ayu must vacate his position as chairman of the party.

Governor Wike also rejected the resignation of the BoT chairman of the PDP ,Walid Jibrin, adding that his resignation would not stop his demand for the removal of Ayu.

According to him, the issue at hand is that of justice and fairness,saying having produced the party’s presidential candidate, the north should not also hold on to the party’s chairmanship.

“This fight we will fight it to the end,” the governor spoke when he commissioned the Ahoada Campus of the Rivers State University in the Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state.

Meanwhile, a chieftain of the PDP, Adakole Ijogi has said Ayu’s resignation as national chairman of the party, will be in fulfilment of his promise to quit if the PDP produces a presidential candidate from northern Nigeria for next year’s polls.

The Benue state chieftain while appearing on Channels TV said: “It is just a simple process to know that the party was built on certain fundamental principles of equity, fairness, justice, inclusion.”

Adakole said this in reaction to Ayu’s latest comment that he was not going to resign, contrary to the promise he made on October 2021.

Ayu said: “I was voted as PDP national chairman to serve for four years, I am not even a year old on the position. I have not violated any rules; in fact, I am working to bring reforms to the party. I am truly not bothered by the unnecessary controversy being generated.”
