Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has mocked the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Iyiorchia Ayu, following his suspension from the party by the Benue State branch of the PDP.
Wike, who spoke during the commissioning of the first phase of the Trans-Kalabari road in Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State, said Ayu cannot preside over them in the party, since he failed to win election in his unit, ward and state.
“Ayu said nobody can suspend him, but today he has packed out from the office. We have an active chairman now. I told him, you will go, whether he likes it or not.
The Rivers Governor said he will continue to fight for Ayu’s removal till the end of his administration, adding that, “We are ready for the battle. I’m not from Benue but I have interest, that interest is that Ayu must go. And I’m going to carry it till May 29 when I leave the office.”
Ayu, on Tuesday, stepped aside in compliance with the court order asking him to stop parading himself as the chairman.
