‘We will not partake in Atiku’s campaign until Ayu is removed’ – Wike’s allies

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, and his allies have decided not to take part in the campaign of Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Wike and his allies met in the early hours of Wednesday and took the decision.

Reading out the communique after the meeting in Port Harcourt, Bode George, PDP chieftain, said the campaign council list released by the party which has the name of Wike is “putting the cart before horse”.

“The published presidential campaign council list translates to putting the cart before horse, the pertinent issue remains the Ayu leadership,” George said.

“We therefore resolve that senator Iyorchia Ayu resigns as the national chairman for an acting chairman of southern Nigeria extraction.

“We resolved not to participate in the campaign council in whatever capacity until the resignation of Dr Iyorchia Ayu.”
