Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has again issued a threat over the retention of Iyorchia Ayu as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The party’s National Executive Council has retained him in spite of the cry by Wike and some other members that Ayo should be replaced with a southerner since he is a northerner like the party’s presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
The PDP says’s the NEC’s decision is the final but Wike, again on Saturday, fumed, saying he was not a person who fought and wet back.
He said, “I was listening and watching, they said there is one man they call Secondus. They said he was dancing, celebrating that NEC gave their person vote of confidence.
“He forgets history. Ask him the same NEC through Aliyu Babangida moved a motion of vote of confidence supported by the same person, Ndudi Elumelu. They gave you (Secondus) a vote of confidence, what happened? You left office.
“We don’t fight and go back. If you like you can have as many 20 votes of confidence, it’s not my business. My business is to make sure the right thing is done, and the right thing must be done. Whether today or tomorrow.”
“I’m not going to play party with the interest of my people. Rivers State is paramount to me first before any other person or group.
“So, the eyes can see what we have done. Up till today, we have never abandoned governance. So many people are already rounding up, taking the last they have but yet, we are still committed in commissioning, and flagging off projects.”
