Why PDP Chairman Should Be Suspended, Not Fayose, Ortom — Wike

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has stated why he thinks the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, should be suspended from the party.

Wike was reacting to the suspension of Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, and the recommendation that Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State faces a disciplinary committee.

According to the Rivers governor, Ayu should be suspended for anti-party activities.

While addressing journalists in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Wike said that Ayu lost his polling unit and ward during the just-concluded election because of his fraudulent acts.

“If there is any person deserving suspension it should be you (Ayu), who played anti-party by refusing to obey the constitution of the party on the zoning of political offices as is required.

“So, whoever tells you can suspend people, please tell the person that he is not serious.

“If you are talking of anti-party, it is you who could not even deliver your unit, deliver your ward that is involved.

“Because of the fraudulent activities you are involved in, people have lost hope in you”, he said.
