Peoples Democratic Party Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, has written off those calling for his resignation as children who were not around when he and others were forming the party.
He called the buff of those calling for his resignation, saying he has four years to be in office.
Among the leading voices against his continued chairmanship is that of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
They believe he should go since the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is from the North as he is.
But in a BBC Hausa interview, he said: “I was voted as PDP Chairman for a four-year tenure and I’m yet to complete a year. Atiku’s victory doesn’t affect the Chairman’s position. I won my election based on our party’s constitution.
“I didn’t commit any offence; I’m only reforming the party so I’m not bothered with all the noises. I know I’m doing my work and I didn’t steal any money so I see no reason for all these talks. When we started PDP, these children were not around. They are children who do not know why we formed the party. We will not allow any individual to destabilize our party,” he said.
Weeks back, a news medium (not PUNCH) reported that the PDP national chairman has signed a resignation letter which was in the custody of a former President of the Senate and chieftain of the party, David Mark, but Ayu debunked the report.
