Iyorchia Ayu, national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied collecting the sum of N100 million from a state governor of the party.
Recall Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike on Friday accused the Ayu of collecting the sum of N100 million from a state governor of the party.
The WITNESS reports that Wike made the allegation during a media chat with journalists at the State House in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
Reacting to the Governor’s claims, Ayu said the allegation was untrue, stating that he never collected any money as an individual.
He, however, explained that monies that were received on behalf of the party were duly remitted to the PDP treasury.
Ayu furthered the argument by noting that a Governor of the party donated N100m for the renovation of the PDP’s Democratic Institute, and the money has not even been exhausted as the renovation is ongoing.
Ayu according to Channels TV said the institute will be commissioned in the weeks ahead.
