Ayu threatened to resign if I won PDP presidential ticket, says Wike

Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, says Iyorchia Ayu, national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), threatened to resign if he won the presidential primary election. 

The governor said this during a media chat on Friday.

He said Ayu also asked other hopefuls to withdraw for Atiku Abubakar, the former vice-president. 

“There was nothing Ayu didn’t do. Manipulation of delegates list,” he said.

“A whole national chairman threatened some of the presidential aspirants at that time that if Wike wins, he was going to resign.

“In fact, he was calling aspirants to withdraw for Atiku Abubakar.”
