PDP Crisis: Ayu Lauds Wike, Says He Is Party's Greatest Asset

Amid the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, has called Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike its greatest asset.

Wike's quarrel with Ayu is no secret as he has insisted that the latter must resign as the party's chairman before any resolution with presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar can take place.

In what comes as a surprising show of loyalty, Ayu has lauded the Rivers State Governor, stating that Wike has helped rescue PDP from time immemorial.

The commendation came through Ayu's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Yusuf Dingyadi in a chat with journalists in Kaduna on Tuesday.

“We are trying to see that everyone is giving a fear hearing. As we speak, the local reconciliation committee is meeting with party members at the state level to discuss issues and find solutions to those issues.

“For example, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, is one of the great assets to PDP.

"He is a leader, governor, and somebody who has helped to rescue PDP since time immemorial.

“Since Ayu took over as the chairman of the party to date, he has made tremendous progress in building the party in all 36 States including the FCT Abuja”, he stated.
