2023: Wike dares Ayu to stop Ortom, PDP candidates from contesting

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, has dared the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyorcha Ayu, over his comment to stop the political aspirations of Benue Governor Samuel Ortom and others in 2023.

Wike, while briefing journalists at his private residence in Port Harcourt on Sunday, said Ayu lacked integrity, insisting the PDP chairman was corrupt.

“I dare the National Chairman to stop any contestant if he has what it takes. It is in this country where you say a man is very corrupt and he is trying to talk,” Wike said.
