Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, Rivers State governor, has described as out of order the resolution of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) that mandated national chairman of the party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, to make a commitment that he would resign after the 2023 elections.
The governor wondered why the BoT could not make Ayu to fulfil his initial commitment that he would resign if a northerner emerges as presidential candidate from the PDP convention.
Wike spoke yesterday at the international wing of the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, on arrival from a brief trip to Madrid, Spain.
He was accompanied by Governors Seyi Makinde, Okezie Ikpeazu and Samuel Ortom, of Oyo, Abia and Benue States.
Faulting PDP BoT’s resolution in Ayu, he said, “To say he should make another commitment that he will resign after the elections, for me, BOT resolution is ridiculous.”
Wike noted that Ayu failed to inform the party’s national working committee (NWC) about the N1.1 billion he received on behalf of the party.
