The Governor of rivers state, Nyesom Wike has lambasted the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Iyorchia Ayu over recent comments that he has the power to stop any party candidate from contesting.
On Friday, Ayu while addressing supporters in Gboko, Benue State, declared that he could terminate the ambition of any aspirant in the party.
“I have been silent over all the things you are hearing against me because I don’t want any crack in the party I belong to in my state,” Ayu had said.
“I have the powers to say ‘you and you will not go anywhere’, because I will insist that I must sign before you go anywhere.”
“But I have signed for all candidates produced by the PDP to go ahead in their dreams whether I like it or not, I signed.”
Reacting to the statement on Sunday in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers state, Wike challenged the party chairman to stop any party member from contesting in the 2023 elections.
“I dare the national chairman of PDP to stop any contestant for the election.”
“I dare Ayu to stop any PDP candidate from contesting the election. He doesn’t have the power,” Wike said.
It is evident that wike Dont want peace in this party. Therefore, he is after something else because Ayu never mentioned anyone’s name where he made the speech but here is wike calling and Challenging Ayu. This also signifies that no peace can be broker between party and the factional group.
When a leader does’nt know the right direction to follow how much more of the followers….shame to our governor!!
Hmmmm
Are u afraid to say something
We support wike
u people are trying
Wike is the voice of the South so if you like go and hug transformer. When the party manipulated their way and put 2 northerners in key positions nobody said anything but not for Wike. If he is selfish he will not concede the presidential position to the north but he is saying let the other come to the south. Besides he is not saying it must come to Rivers state. Why can’t we see with him?if our northern brothers are tired of us, why can’t we part ways?
Gov. Wike you are really a wike person
Wike is a voice that can travel distance without transportation
