According to the veteran journalist, all Atiku can do is talk to Ayu; what is going on between them is unknown to many people.
Momodu said those calling Atiku to unilaterally remove the party’s embattled chairman were unfair to the former vice president.
“I know nobody will want to be seen in that light. Like anytime Governor Wike says you must go, you must go. It is a psychological thing as well for the party. It doesn’t work that way.
