Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state, says Iyorchia Ayu, national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), doesn’t want to resign from his position because he wants to continue overseeing the party’s finances.
The Rivers governor spoke during the weekend at a media parley in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers state, The Cable reported.
Wike and his associates have been at the forefront of the campaign for the resignation of Ayu on the basis that it violates the party’s constitution for the national chairman to hail from the same zone as the presidential candidate.
Speaking on Sunday, October 31, the Rivers governor said Ayu is staying put despite the pressure to step down because he wants to oversee the influx of donations.
“Why does he not want to resign? He is hoping that Nigerians will donate money to the party so he will superintendent over that money,” he said.
