The
Rivers State Governor spoke on Wednesday night against speculations
that the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar has
suspended his campaign for 2023 election over the crises in the party
which has persisted over continued stay of Ayu in office.
 The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has said nothing will
make him change his mind as he pushes for the removal of Iyorchia Ayu as
the chairman of the party.
The Rivers State Governor spoke on Wednesday night against
speculations that the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku
Abubakar has suspended his campaign for 2023 election over the crisis in
the party which has persisted over continued stay of Ayu in office.
Wike, four governors and some other PDP chieftains in their camp
had boycotted the launch of Atiku’s presidential campaign some days ago
in Cross River over their demand that Ayu should vacate office in
accordance to the zoning policy of the party.
They argued that it is against the zoning policy of the party for a
Northerner to hold the presidential ticket and the chairmanship slot of
the party.
But Atiku had refused to wholly support the call, while insisting
that any plan to removal Ayu must be in line with the party’s
constitution.
However, reports indicated that with the boycott of the launch of
his campaign, Atiku is planning to send a strong team made up of former
Rivers governor Peter Odili, former Senate President David Mark and
others to sheathe their words over Ayu.
However, such may be futile in resolving the crises as Wike
declared that nobody can convince him to change his stance that the PDP
should yield its national Chairman position to Southern Nigeria on
Wednesday evening.
Wike, maintained that he cannot be convinced to support the current
status quo, where the PDP Presidential candidate, national chairman and
the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign council are all from
the north.
According to a press statement by Kelvin Ebiri, his Special
Assistant on Media, Wike made the assertion when he hosted Cross River
State PDP governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives, House of
Assembly candidates and PDP local government party Chairmen, at his
private residence in Rumueprikom.
During the meeting which was also attended by the party’s
South-South national vice chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, Wike explained that
the seeming intractable crisis in the party had lingered because some
vested interests, whom he described as “hyenas and rent seekers,” have
remained obstinate and averse to justice, fairness and equity in the
party.
“We have finished Presidential primaries, we have a
presidential candidate. Is Wike saying remove Presidential candidate? Is
Wike saying remove Vice Presidential candidate? So, what are you
begging me for? All I am saying, and I will continue to say is that you
have taken President, give us (national) Chairman.
“Nobody wants to speak the truth. If I am saying remove the
Presidential candidate, if I am saying remove the vice presidential
candidate, then you will say why is he doing this.”
According to him, refusal to cede the national chairman position to the South, will be a recipe for crisis.
“He (national chairman) said, if the presidential candidate
comes from the north, he will resign , which means he has had this in
mind. Now, the thing has come to reality, now resign, no. And people are
saying go and talk to Wike.
“I’ve accepted the Presidential candidate, I have accepted the
Vice Presidential candidate, what’s the problem again. You, fulfill your
part. Let the South have something, that is all I’m preaching. You
cannot have presidential candidate, national chairman, director general
of the campaign.”
The governor said it is hypocritical for some people in the PDP to
criticise Muslim/Muslim ticket, while supporting that a particular
region of the country should retain the Presidency for another eight
years.
He insisted that for the sake of holistic peace, PDP should adhere
to the tenets of its constitution, which explicitly recommends that when
a Presidential candidate emerges from the north, the national chairman
should be from the South.
The Governor said the clamour for the Chairman of the PDP to be
zoned to the South will persist until justice, fairness and equity
prevail in the PDP. |
