September 23,2022
Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers State, has accused Senator Iyorchia Ayu, national chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of manipulating the party’s presidential primary against him.
Wike said if not for the love he and others in his camp had for the main opposition party, they could have prevented the PDP convention from holding
Wike, who revealed this in an ongoing media parley, said Ayu played a vital role that was detrimental to other aspirants in the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as PDP flagbearer.
The governor alleged that Ayu called several presidential aspirants to step down for the former vice president during the convention
He was calling aspirants to withdraw for Atiku. I was there, Saraki and others were there.
He manipulated the delegates. There was nothing Ayu did not do to ensure Wike didn’t emerge,” Wike said.
