River State governor, Nyesom Wike is not backing down in his demand for Peoples Democratic Party chairman Iyorchia Ayu to quit his position.
Wike who was speaking during an interview with various media said Ayu lacked integrity, alleging that the PDP chairman corruptly enriched himself.
“If people know what we know, if we release what we have, Ayu’s children will go to him and say we are no longer your children,” Wike said.
“You are presenting a man (Ayu) who lacked integrity as chairman of the party and somebody that wants to lead a campaign to take the reins of government?
“What is the problem with what we are asking of Ayu? We are saying let there be equity, let there be fairness and justice. But if you don’t want it that way then you are the one causing the crisis (in the party) and that shows you (Ayu) don’t have leadership skills because this is the time to show it. This is the time to show leadership skills on the part of those who are leaders of the party,”
“Let me tell you how the money came about. When it was discussed at the national working committee, Ayu said everybody should calm down and that Nigerians are interested, and that Nigerians will bring money to the party.
“I don’t want us to go deeper because I feel that we are not pushed to the wall (yet). If we are pushed to the wall, what the people will hear will be something else,” he added.
