There are indications that the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) might advise the National Chairman of the party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, to resign as all entreaties made to Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, have so far fallen on deaf ears.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that some members of the PDP BoT led by former Senate President Adolphus Wabara met Governor Wike in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
At the meeting, Wike wasted no time in telling his guests how the PDP presidential flag-bearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, had repeatedly failed to fulfill all the promises he made to the five governors who are insisting on the removal of Ayu.
An ex-PDP official said: “Wike told them Atiku disappointed him. He said he didn’t bargain for vice president; it was Atiku who begged him.
“When he eventually agreed and he expected them to work something out, he came back to say he had picked Ifeanyi Okowa.
‘’But when Atiku chose Okowa, he didn’t come back to them (Wike and other governors) to say anything. And the speech he made when he was unveiling Okowa was very disappointing.”
The source added: “After hearing all that transpired from Wike, they asked him the way forward. Wike replied that the only way forward was for Ayu to resign and that if Ayu does not resign, nobody should talk to him about PDP again.
“He vowed not to leave the party but at the same time he would not work for Atiku.”
Nemesis
One good turn deserves another, the real nemesis is yet to come.
I like your stand. Keep at it Mr Wike.
