Ayu Rejects PDP NWC’s Proposal to Hold Private Audience with Wike
The efforts to reconcile aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have suffered a setback as the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, has rejected the proposal by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) for him to hold a private audience with the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike.
Wike’s loyalists are insisting that one of the conditions to reconcile the Rivers State governor with the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, is for Ayu to vacate his seat for a southerner.
A meeting held on Friday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, between the reconciliation teams of Atiku and Wike ended in a deadlock.
Wike’s team, it was learnt, was said to have insisted that Ayu must resign as a condition precedent for further discussion.
The leader of the team led by a former governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, told Atiku’s team led by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State that they should inform the former vice president of this position before further deliberation between the two camps.
THISDAY gathered that the PDP NWC had advised Ayu to visit the Rivers State governor for them to resolve the dispute on a one-on-one basis but the former Senate President rejected the proposal.
Investigation revealed that the NWC in their meeting last Thursday told Ayu that they would accompany him to Port Harcourt if he was not willing to go alone.
According to one of the NWC members who spoke on condition of anonymity, the NWC members who feared that the crisis is becoming personal asked the national chairman to take the path of a leader to see Wike and resolve the crisis which is becoming intractable.
The source further stated that the NWC members volunteered to go with Ayu to meet with the Rivers State governor as a team.
He further stated that Ayu rejected the offer of going with them to see the Rivers State governor or engage him in a private audience.
According to him, Ayu ruled out any private meeting with Wike on the matter, insisting that he has four years to complete his tenure as the party’s national chairman.
It was learnt that the two camps that held the deadlocked meeting in Port Harcourt would use the weekend to brief their principals on the outcome of the meeting.
THISDAY gathered that the main issue on the side of Wike’s camp is to ensure that all the supporters of the Rivers State governor are carried along in the electioneering campaigns expected to kick off on September 29.
A source privy to the negotiations told THISDAY that, “we are waiting for a green light from the reconciliatory camps to enable the party to summon the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting to approve membership of the presidential campaign council of the party.”
The source said that the PDP would not want to announce any member of the party that would not honour and participate in the campaigns.
Meanwhile, Wike and the former National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus on Saturday engaged in a war of words over an alleged threat by the Rivers State governor to crush anyone who supports the enemies of the state.
A visibly angry Wike, who spoke at the flagging off ceremony of the construction of internal roads at Omagwa in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state, vowed to “finish” anyone who pitches his tent with the “enemies of the state.”
According to the governor, “If anybody fights our system, we will fight the person back.
“Let me tell you what you don’t understand in politics. The moment you claim to be working with us and tomorrow you shift to our enemy, we will take every might we have; we will even leave our enemy and finish you first.
“So, all of you who are going back to Abuja to hold meetings with our enemies in the state, I am going to finish you to the last.
“We removed a national party chairman who was not doing well. All of them were here; we all agreed; now they are going to Abuja to hold meetings with the man we removed, thinking that you will use that to fight us; we will crush them.”
But in a swift response, Secondus told Wike that he is not God who could crush anyone.
In a statement by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, the former National Chairman of the main opposition party stated that his attention “has been drawn to the haughty and disdainful threat from Governor Nyesom Wike that he will crush anybody who works with him (Secondus) in support of the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
“The simple responses of Prince Secondus to the empty threat are: ‘Wike you cannot crush anybody, I cannot fight, only God can crush”
Secondus also drew the attention of Wike to the advice given by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, who told public officers that ‘no condition is permanent,’ reminding the Rivers State governor that nobody can become the governor of a state or President of this country forever.

Wike is doing a great job here. Destroy the looting party.

PDP NATIONAL CHAIRMAN, SENATOR IYORCHA AYU MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.

Senator Ayu must resign immediately as PDP National Chairman, he should respect the agreement reached before he was elected as National Chairman.

I don't know why Northerners finds it difficult to respect simple agreement, the same thing happened when Senator Ali Modu Sherrif was PDP National Chairman he refused to resign when he was asked to.

Now the current PDP National Chairman, a Northerner has refused to resign again as agreed before he was elected as National Chairman, senator Ayu must resign without making noise because PDP National Chairman and Presidential candidate cannot come from the same North, I don't know why majority of PDP stake holders from the North just kept quite as if they are not aware of what is happening in PDP, where are our former Senate presidents Senator David Mark and Senator Bukola Saraki and others, they should urgently visit PDP National Chairman Senator Ayu by 5: 00 AM and talk to sense into his brain to resign honourably without causing more problem in PDP.

The PDP southern Governors should be blamed because they refused to call the National Chairman to resign with one voice and they should also join to visit the PDP National Chairman by 5:00 AM within 2 weeks and to make sure he resigns before the Presidential campaign starts in September, PDP cannot kick start presidential campaign with a divided house.

I commend chief Bode George for calling on the National Chairman to resign.

PDP should put it's house in order and prepare for the upcoming 2023 General Election, the umbrella is big enough to accommodate everybody.

The main reason all these politicians are afraid of peter obi is just fear of money misuse anyhow , all those money wey dem dey share anyhow will stop , unnecessary expenses of no tangible use will stop , embezzlement will stop , all unnecessary allowances will stop , they cant stand that, if all that stops now , the politics of a MUST and bloodshed will stop, nobody want force his way up to a post no money anyhow go dey come again like before.

Vote Wisely

Would have been a huge disappointment for Ayu to agree. One on one with Wike

Keep calling his bluff .. let him do his worst

Wike will keep ranting while Waziri will keep ignoring .. this kind thing dey pain.. he dey shout .. bark .. make noise .. meanwhile person wey you dey follow argue is being celebrated left and right .. and you dey wail.. not even your Rivers people dey give you white hankie to dry eyes ..
Na enemies you dey see .. Dey fight everyone still dey claim you go tell they people you’re fighting where and how to vote

Don’t know between Wike and Obi who be the better clown

Make we reason grievances of Former Gombe governor.. not the riffrant the Yoruba media created.


Wike please leave Pdp.. Wike you’re free to work for anybody.. Wike please decamp to Labour

Plus Wike minus Wike
Alpha remains Pdp... maybe he should ask Ameachi..

Fool

you are just joking here joor. Pdp National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu Will be in that sit for the next 4 years in power. He will be the one to usher in Atiku Abubakar to victories in the presidential election on February 25th, 2023.

It baffles me to note that Dr Ayu has not been found wanting in carrying out his responsibilities. If Wike was selected as the VP candidate, would they be pushing for Ayu's resignation? The demand is born out of selfish motive and Wike cannot be holding PDP at the jugular at his mere will at all times.
Ayu should be allowed to do his job. Wike can leave the party too. Besides, Wike told the whole world in the PDP convention that he will support who ever emerges as the candidate in the primaries. Why can't he honout that? Is Wike the only person who failed in that primaries? Why has he become the worst loser ever?

according to how I plan my life in secondary school, today was supposed to be my swearing in ceremony as governor of Benue state

Ayu should honourably step down, we all know how he and Atiku arranged to secure a northerner the ticket.

For southern interest, he should step down.

Ayu will not resign. All that will happen is that Wike and co will compromise at the last minute. If APC did not go the foolish way of same faith ticket, Wike would have made a move to join them, but he knows Rivers people can NEVER vote for muslim-muslim.

PDP IS DEAD

You finished talking.

Somebody above said Wike would destroy PDP.

I rather see Wike destroyed and falling on anyone he can,to go down together.

Innocent Wike is finished He sorrounded with betrayers as he always says.

FirstSon01:

For southern interest, he should step down.

Just because of Wike?

Wike should do his worst the ball is in his court.

Decamping or anty-party is allowed.

Do you hear Atiku,Tambuwal or the main branch compaining?

We dare him to do his worst.

PDP IS DEAD

PDP is immortal.

Is he the only one that lost the election, how many time did loose and Heaven didn't falls
