PDP crisis: I won’t step down because of you – Ayu dares Wike

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Iyorchia Ayu, says he remains unworried over the calls in some quarters for his resignation.

Ayu said the proponents of such moves are youngsters who do not have a grasp of the goals of the party when it was formed.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has been calling for the resignation of Ayu as a condition to mend the fractured relationship between the governor and the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Reacting, Ayu said, “I was voted as PDP Chairman for four-year tenure and I’m yet to complete a year. Atiku’s victory doesn’t affect the chairman’s position. I won my election based on our party’s constitution.

“I didn’t commit any offence; I’m only reforming the party so I’m not bothered with all the noises. I know I’m doing my work and I didn’t steal any money so I see no reason for all these talks.

“When we started PDP, these children were not around. They are children who do not know why we formed the party. We will not allow any individual to destabilise our party.”
