Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has again attacked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that Wike claimed during a Saturday event in Rivers that Ayu is a corrupt man who is building a university in his home state of Benue State after only a year as PDP National Chairman.
The event was attended by members of the G-5 governors, who took turns speaking in support of all of the party’s candidates in the state.
According to reports, Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, were not present. The duo were also noticeably absent.
Wike accused Ayu of accepting a bribe, another N100 million, and billions of naira from the sale of forms while speaking, but he refused to defend himself.
He challenged Ayu to sue him, repeatedly saying, “Ayu, you are corrupt, you cannot lead us to a campaign. You cannot lead Rivers people to the campaign.”
While apologising personally to the Benue State governor, whom he said was not informed of his latest revelation, Wike added, “Rivers State people are angry.
He said;
I went to Benue State. Ayu you have not stayed one year in office and you are courting corruption.
Ayu sue me. You are building a University in Benue and you haven’t spent one year in office.
Shame, shame, shame! You can’t fight Rivers people and go free.
You can’t fight Nigeria and go free.
It doesn’t matter the news media, you have to insult me, to insult the G-5 governors, the Integrity Group. If you like, insult us the way you like, the truth must be told.
Benue State governor, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I’m sorry Oyo and I’m sorry Abia. I’m sorry Enugu. I’m sorry but this is Rivers State talking.
I can’t kill myself. I’m sorry, anybody can challenge me to a debate. We are the integrity Group.
Wike went on to allege that some media houses are run by ex-convict and fingered Nduka Obaigena.
He told his audience that he would be leaving the government house happy, having fulfilled what he promised the people.
Rivers people, I say I’m going happily. I’m going with my shoulders high. I didn’t tell you I will do this and did another.
You have a lot of armed robbers coming. Open your eyes, shine your eyes, he advised the people.
