PDP Crisis: Ayu Debunks Meeting With Gov Wike

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, has debunked speculations going viral on social media claiming that he met with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Governor Wike who is the leader of the Integrity Group and G-5 PDP governors who have been calling for the removal or resignation of Ayu as a condition for backing the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Ayu has, however remained adamant, insisting he would only leave his position when his tenure expires and he won’t be forced out by the aggrieved governors.

An image had emerged on Wednesday, with many claiming that Ayu had met Nyesom Wike to resolve the crisis rocking the main opposition party.

But in a swift reaction, the PDP Chairman’s Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Simon Imobo-Tswam said there was no meeting between him and the Governor in Port Harcourt or anywhere else in Nigeria today.

Ayu’s media aide accused mischief makers of spreading the image with a false narrative.

Imobo-Tswam said, “Dr. Ayu states clearly that: 1. He never travelled to Port Harcourt and 2. He has not set eyes on Gov. Wike lately.

“The photograph trending on the social media is an old one. The story accompanying it is, therefore, false and mischievous.

“He also adds, for the purpose of factual accuracy, that he is in no way embattled.

“The National Chairman is, rather, enjoying the New Year Break with his family.

“The general public and, especially the PDP Family, is advised to ignore the story and focus on the historic task ahead of the party next month.“
