Reason I supported Ayu’s removal  – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has again declared that he was not afraid to face the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC when invited by its operatives after leaving office. THE NEWS reports.

 On the current travails of Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Wike said that the party will be stronger without Ayu still in the saddle as national Chairman.

The Governor maintained that under Dr. Ayu, PDP became weak, lacking the kind of leadership that should make it a strong political force to reckon with because the embattled national chairman was busy with personal gains he could grab.Information Guide Nigeria

The governor said he cannot support Dr. Ayu, who instead of providing strong national leadership to the PDP, was busy building a private university in Benue State from the money realized from the party’s congresses.

“I believe that we should have strong leadership. I can’t support people whose interest is only to amass money.

“I can’t support people where we did congresses and raised about N12.5B and within two months, that money was gone. And somebody has stayed in office for one year, he is building a university, I won’t support such.”

Governor Wike explained that it is because of such an unproductive leadership style to the party that he is supporting the removal of Dr. Ayu from office.JAMB Portal

“That is why I am in support that that bloody criminal must leave office if we want PDP to be strengthened. I owe no apology to anybody. I said it before, this is the final fight we will fight and we are going to win this fight.”NYSC Portal
