He made the remarks in reaction to claims by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State that he collected N1bn from a presidential aspirant, Ayu on Friday said he never collected N1bn from anyone.
“Can Ayu deny that he did not collect N1bn from Lagos? He told one of the PDP presidential aspirants before the primaries that the governors were not ready to fund the party,” he said, claiming that he knew “how the money was arranged and those involved in packaging the money. He N1bn; let him come out to tell Nigerians it is not true and I will reveal more,” Wike said.
“However, I want to make it clear that at no time did I, as the national chairman of this party, collect any N1bn from anybody. He added that the party remained transparent in its financial dealings and it would not renege on its promise to present its audited account to the public by December.
