Latest about Nyesom Wike, PDP, Rivers state, 2023 election
Wike and 4 other governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been calling for the removal of their party's national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, in the name of fairness and equity.
Ayu had promised to step aside as the chairman of the PDP if a northerner emerged as the party's presidential candidate during the PDP primary last year.
unfortunately, since the emergence of Atiku Abubakar, a northerner, as the PDP presidential candidate, Ayu has refused to honour his words and this has plunged the party into crisis as the governors insist.
