Ayu to go, Wike’s camp to produce replacement from South West Nigeria, PDP crisis

 

By John Alechenu, Abuja

The Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party PDP, Atiku Abubakar, is under immense pressure from his loyalists following reports that he has yielded to the demand by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for the removal of the  current PDP National Chairman, Iyiochia Ayu.

It was gathered in Abuja, on Friday, that a number of agreements were arrived at after the meeting between Atiku and Wike in London. Part of the agreement, it was learnt, was that Ayu should be given a dignified exit and accommodated in the new PDP government when it is formed.

The Wike Camp equally extracted a commitment from Atiku to be allowed to produce Ayu’s replacement and that the person should be from the South West Zone.
