The Rivers governor accused Ayu of supporting Atiku to emerge as the party's presidential candidate and asked him to resign from office.According to Wike and some party chieftains loyal to him, it is not fair for the party to have northerners as the presidential candidate and its national chairman . They said Ayu's resignation will pave the way for a southerner to emerge as his replacement, and create a balance.
“The presidential candidate entered my state and picked members of the presidential campaign council without the governor of the state having a contribution. So, they said they don’t need me to campaign for them, that they don’t want Rivers people to campaign for them. Would you force yourself?” Wike asked.Wike continued, “You sit down and do your own and that’s the end of it.
