Mr Wike said it was becoming difficult to convince Nigerians that his party, the PDP, can rescue the country.
He once again accused the PDP of violating its zoning principle, which would have had a southerner emerge as the party presidential candidate for the 2023 election. He also accused the PDP leadership of not allowing for inclusivity in the party.
The governor said he and others would continue to demand Mr Ayu’s resignation, no matter the “blackmail” against them.“If you like, abuse us the way you want to abuse us, but we will stand by what we have said. “If you say you will not relinquish that position to the south, no problems. Go ahead, but you can’t force us to do what we think is not right, we will not do it. So, this kind of man cannot, in all honesty, take this party to any victory. He cannot,” Governor Wike said, of the PDP national chairman.
