Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, has taunted the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Iyorchia Ayu, over the verbal slip Ayu made during his speech in Kano at a Presidential campaign rally.
Wike described the slip as an unpardonable height of anti-party.
The PDP National Chairman had said: “PDP (instead of APC) has brought us shame. We won’t retain them in power.”
Wike stated that if there is any section of the PDP that has brought shame, is full of lies and is bad, it is the national headquarters under Ayu’s leadership, and not the PDP in Rivers State.
The Rivers governor insisted that Ayu spoke out of the abundance of his heart, even though he might want to defend it as a slip; and that it goes to confirm that as an undertaker, his likes came back to kill the PDP, but added that they will not be allowed to kill it.
Wike said; “When you see undertakers, you will see those who came to kill this party. But the party will not die, they will die first. I didn’t know they are wicked to this party, no wonder they left this party and joined ACN before.
“He (Ayu) said they will not allow PDP to be in power. Is that a good Chairman? Is that not anti-party? Is the Chairman not doing anti-party? Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. For us in Rivers State, our party is good. Our own is a party that has done Rivers State proud.”

Governor Wike also spoke about the poor implementation of the Naira redesign policy and the socio-economic hardship that it has caused Nigerians.
He said those supporting the poorly implemented Naira redesign policy are enemies of the people and the country; wondering why the national leadership of the PDP is in opposition, and can’t take on the issue.
Wike has been attacking Ayu since he lost the presidential primary election to the latter in 2022.
