Former Plateau State governor Jonah Jang said People Democratic Party Candidate, Abubakar Atiku is unwilling to let go party chairman Iyorchia Ayu, because he helped Atiku win the PDP primary elections in Abuja.
He alleged that Ayu and Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal worked together to see Atiku emerge the Party’s flag bearer.
Senator Jang who was speaking in Port Harcourt said: “For the National Chairman, Ayu, to go and embrace Aminu Tambuwal, calling him the hero of the convention which means there was a private arrangement that was done with Tambuwal to shortchange other contestants, including Governor Nyesom Wike.
“Here was a referee who now helped one of the sides to score a goal and then blew a whistle that a goal had been scored. This is not what we formed the PDP to do for Nigerians and therefore we unequivocally ask that Ayu has to step down.”
