PDP Crisis: Fresh Trouble Hits Atiku as Wike Slammed Ayu With Serious Allegation
- The crisis rocking the nation's main opposition party has taken a fresh dimension a few weeks before the presidential election
- Whilst other parties are busy campaigning and convincing Nigerians to vote for their flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, Governor Nyesom Wike and the national chairman of the party, Iyorcha Ayu, are at loggerheads
- This recent development, according to political analysts, might affect the PDP's victory chances in the forthcoming poll
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has said the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorcha Ayu, indulged in an unpardonable height of anti-party when he campaigned against the party in Kano State by saying “PDP has brought us shame.”
The governor disclosed that if there is any section of the PDP that has brought shame to the country, it is the national headquarters under Ayu’s leadership and not the Rivers State chapter of the party.
