Let him deny it, I will tell him who gave him the money not from the Lagos state government, the money was given to him in Lagos. Will he deny the fact that he didn’t ccollect N1 billion from Lagos? Ayu has the opportunity to challenge me, I will name,” he said.
Mr Secondus, who hails from Rivers, was forced out of office in August 2021, a few weeks to the expiration of his tenure.
You can’t come here, gain from the state, be a contractor, get money then you move to Abuja to hold meetings against us and say I’ll leave you free, I’ll not leave you free. Good journalism costs a lot of money. “We removed a national party chairman who was not doing well. “Let me tell you what you don’t understand in politics. “And the president cannot come to the south if you (Secondus) are the chairman of the party,” Mr Wike said. “In the final meeting in Enugu, we now say, Secondus, as the chairman of the party, you are already running out your tenure, and therefore you can’t go back (as the PDP chairman) because it is the position of the south that the president have to come from the south.
Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has accused the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyorchia Ayu, of being corrupt.
“He collected the money from one of the presidential aspirants in Lagos. Even on the convention day, Ayu was still mounting pressure on aspirants to withdraw. Will he deny the fact that he collected from Lagos?

Ayu wants to be in power so that he will be there, and if we (PDP) win the presidential election, he wants the Secretary to the Government of the Federation’s position. There is a reason for the amended Electoral Act and the upsurge of voter registration. “If Nigerians hear a lot of things going on now in the party that wants to take over the reign of power, they will shake their heads. It is time, therefore, to move on with the formidable tasks of nation building ahead of us.” “He met one of the presidential candidates and told him that he’s not sure these governors want to sponsor the party. The statement reads: “The release is disingenuous because it lacks any merit of a reasonable, intellectual riposte. Let him deny it, I will tell him who gave him the money; not from the Lagos State Government, the money was given to him in Lagos. Some of the meetings were held in their houses. Even on the night of the convention, meetings were going on. As chairman of the convention, he allowed Aminu Tambuwal to speak a second time. “A whole national chairman told some aspirants that if Wike wins that he was going to resign. “I am not saying I am bigger than the party.

“As a campaign, we can only pity former Vice President Atiku for the self-inflicted injury he invited unto himself. The ongoing fraticidal war where a faction of the party being led by the Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike is engaging Atiku in a fight to finish has undermined any momentum the PDP candidate had hoped to build. “Once again, another bid for the presidency of our country by former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar is slipping away.

“You know when you work as a team with people, you must listen to them. I never ran for the presidential position in order to be a vice-president.

Those wishing to decode Governor Nyesom Wike's next move may not wait longer. He seems to unveil it in Port Harcourt...
Yes, Nigerians are not happy with the APC but the PDP should not take that for granted and refuse to woo them and show they can be trusted. Secret: Ayu wants to be Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Saraki has his eyes on his own too. Do not allow the opportunity to slip off. The APC has zoned to the south but the PDP did not. Rivers State delivered heavily to the PDP all the way, even with APC having a DG of campaigns from Rivers State, their party did not get anything here from 1015 to 2019. He is not my son to do my bidding. Instead he went ahead in public to say the constitution of the party would not back it. He used his mouth to say, look, presidential candidate and chairman of the party cannot come from one zone (region). Let him deny it, I know who handed the money to him and the denominations. He did not deny the existence of plans to campaign against the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku. The Ike Ekweremadu committee zoned presidency in 2019 to the north. Southern governors met in Asaba and resolved that presidency must return to the south.
