Ayu’s Removal May Trigger Constitutional Crisis in PDP, Olujimi Begs Wike, Others Victor Ogunje in Ado Ekiti Senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, Biodun Olujimi, has appealed to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wi
Senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, Biodun Olujimi, has appealed to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and other aggrieved governors to sheathe their sword and embrace peace by halting their consistent call for the removal of the People’s Democratic Party National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu.
Olujimi spoke in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday during an interactive session with the newsmen on the snowballing crisis and pressure on the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar to back Ayu’s removal for a Chairman of Southern extraction to be emplaced in the National Working Committee. “We can’t go to the extent of destroying the house we have built. I am optimistic that we will achieve our set goals .The people who are agitating may be right, because the agreement is that, when a candidate of Northern extraction emerges as presidential candidate, it will be wrong to retain the Chairman in the North . But we didn’t think through our constitution.
“I want to beg Governor Wike, who is the leader of the group, he is fighting for all of us, he is fighting for my zone, but let him allow a middle course, so that we can work towards our common goal, it is not about him. He is a good party man , he loves the PDP, but we should allow peace to reign”.
She added; “APC controlled the central and state governments when I won in 2019. The people that will elect us will put us on a scale and decide who is the best to choose. Our People should know that I have served two terms in the Senate and I have the opportunity of helping the people better than someone, who is coming fresh.
