The governor said it was God who hardened Ayu’s heart not to vacate office when the G-5 governors and other party leaders demanded his resignation after the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the PDP presidential candidate.NYSC Portal
Wike said if Ayu had resigned then, his loyalists who opposed the zoning of elective and appointive offices, would have used that as an excuse for the party’s abysmal performance in the recent elections.
He insisted that other PDP-controlled states cannot sustain the party financially and tolerate the embattled chairman as their leader, noting that Ayu failed to strengthen the party in his home state of Benue.
He said: “Will you preside over the one (Rivers PDP) I have secured victory for? Do you want to come and preside over this state (Rivers) so that we will begin to donate money to the party?
“You, bring your state to the party too so that your state (Benue) can contribute money to the national (level). If you don’t deliver your state, you can’t preside over us. You cannot.”JAMB Result
