Former PDP national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh has stated that stakeholders in the Peoples Democratic Party who are insisting on the removal of the party\u2019s National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, do not mean well for the party.<\/p>\n

Metuh, a member of the PDP\u2019s National Executive Committee, also accused Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, his counterpart from Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, Bode George and others, who pulled out of the party\u2019s Presidential Campaign Council, of plotting to frustrate the party\u2019s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in their bid to control the party.<\/p>\n

Metuh\u00a0said those calling for Ayu\u2019s removal on the premise that he was a northerner like Atiku, needed to take a trip down memory lane to revisit the history of the party.<\/p>\n

In his words, \u201cWhoever is thinking of the control of the party at this stage is on a misplaced mission because it is an attempt to struggle for the leadership of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2007, the then presidential candidate of the party, Umaru Yar\u2019Adua, ran with a national chairman from the North, Ahmadu Ali, but the South did not make any demand. In 2010, the then acting President, Goodluck Jonathan, had a Board of Trustees chairman from the South, Tony Anenih, and a national chairman from the South, Vincent Ogbulafor. So, what is the problem today?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we acknowledge the fact that these aggrieved party chieftains are very important stakeholders, they supervised the election of Ayu and in fact, celebrated it. Most of them even made the point that Ayu was the best thing to have happened to the PDP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat has changed? Is there an agenda they are pursuing? What do they want?\u201d he asked, even as he appealed to the pro-Wike group to give peace a chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody is saying that what they are demanding is right or wrong. What we need now is a doctrine of necessity to protect and strengthen the PDP for the task ahead,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Metuh singled out the former deputy national chairman of the PDP, Bode George<\/a>, for blame for spearheading what he called \u201cplot to destabilise our party,\u201d saying, \u201cIn 2006 with a President from the South, Olusegun Obasanjo about to complete his tenure, George spoke at a conference, calling for another southerner to succeed him.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cGeorge was the person who organised the move to remove Atiku from the NEC of the party. He did this in 2005.<\/p>\n

\u201cI supported him to be the chairman of the party in 2017 against Uche Secondus<\/a>. If he was denied the chairmanship of the party in 2017, did he protest? In this era, the chairmanship ought to go to the South-West, but North-Central took it. If this is about the South, why did he not complain when Ayu from the North-Central won his seat in May?\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the ex-PDP spokesman, the plot against Ayu is being promoted \u201cbecause Atiku is the presidential candidate of the party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking a different stand on the issue is the founder of the Diasporan for PDP, Texas, United States of America. Victoria Pamugo, who said those bent on seeing Ayu use the exit door might do a long walk to realise their wish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
