The former senate president described the comment as “mischievous and senseless”
“One post, (from one Lawal Garba, but purporting to be from the PDP national chairman) states that Ayu says he cannot talk to a man who “cannot father a child.” Another post, with a photograph of Wike and a lady with some children (from Igbere TV), claims that the governor is not “the biological father of his three kids,” Ayu said.

Ayu condemns statement calling Wike impotent
Ayu maintained that the statement was amateurish and diabolic, adding that it is not his character to descend so low.
The statement added that it is a lack of intelligence to cook such lies against the PDP and its national chairman while stressing that the report is “completely false”.
Ayu and Wike have been having a cold war since the Rivers governor lost the party’s presidential ticket to former vice president Atiku Abubakar in the last primary.
The national chairman of the opposition had commended and described the Sokoto state governor, Aminu Tambuwal, for stepping down for Atiku at the primary, describing him as a hero of the convention.

While reacting to a statement credited to Ayu that those calling for his resignation are children, Wike reminded Ayu that those children actually brought him from the gutter.
The governor maintained that Ayu valued the chairmanship position more than winning the 2023 general election.
