Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, not only accused the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, of corrupting the process which threw former Vice President Atiku Abubakar up as the Party’s Presidential candidate, but he also accused him of financial corruption.
On corrupting the process through which Atiku emerged, Wike said the National Chairman was calling Presidential aspirants on the phone to step down for Atiku. He said Ayu also corrupted the list of delegates in favour of Atiku. “I am a good Party man. We did not want to spoil things, otherwise, we could have stopped the Convention”, Wike said at a Press Conference beamed live by Channels Television. Ayu, Wike disclosed, pulled everything to stop him, Wike, from emerging as the Party’s candidate.
