I’m Going Nowhere, you were a Child when we Formed PDP – Ayu Tackles Wike

The national chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyiochia Ayu, has declared that the proponents of his removal are children who were not available when the party was founded, adding that such agitation would not stand the test of time.

Ayu who featured on a BBC Hausa Service programme monitored in Kaduna, also argued that the presidential candidature of Atiku Abubakar does not affect his position.

Ayu stressed that even if Atiku hails from Benue state, he will still not resign.

He insisted that he contested for office of national chairman and won a four-year term in office, saying that he was yet to spend even a year in office.

“I stood for election and I won the election and I am fixing the party, I have not stolen anything, I have not committed any offence, we will not allow one person to come and spoil the party for us with frivolous calls and conditions.

“I was elected as PDP national chairman for a four-year term and I have spent up to one year, so the call for my resignation is uncalled for. The election of Abubakar Atiku as the PDP presidential candidate cannot affect my election as national chairman, even if the candidate is from Benue state, I stood for election and I was voted for by Nigerians,” Ayu said.

When asked about condition put forward by the Rivers State governor, Ayu said: “All that he is doing does not affect me because I know I am fixing the party, I am doing my work diligently, I have not committed any offence, I have not stolen any money, so there is no reason for my resignation.

When we started the PDP all those ones were children, they were not there, we will not allow one person to become a spoiler, this is our country, so all that is expected of us is to fix the country, provide security and dividends of democracy when we take over power in 2023.”
