October 14, (THEWILL) – Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, said the children of Iyorchia Ayu, the National chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will disown him if he exposes his corrupt activities.
Wike made the statement in a live chat with newsmen in Port Harcourt on Friday.
The Rivers Governor said Ayu lacks integrity and cannot lead PDP to victory with such attributes.
The governor further claimed that Ayu collected N100 million bribe from a governor in addition to the N1 billion bribe he collected from a presidential aspirant in Lagos.
He dared Ayu to deny the allegation, saying he will reveal the governor if the PDP chairman claims ignorance.
“In fact, let me also tell you, Ayu collected N100 million from a governor.
“If not for the love of this party, if we release what we have, Ayu’s children will go to him and say we are no longer your children”, he said.
Wike, who emphasised that the party must win the nation’s top seat in the forthcoming elections, also vowed that he will not back down until Ayu is out of the chairmanship position.
The governor, however, cautioned that if he leaves the PDP before the 2023 elections, the party will lose in any state.
“If I leave the party today, PDP will lose in any state. If the five PDP governors say they are leaving today, you think I will not leave the party, we are not just ordinary governors, we are very formidable”, he added.
