The 2023 Vice Presidential Candidate of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has attacked the aggrieved Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who has been calling for the resignation of the National Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, a Northerner, for a Southerner to take over, for fairness, equity and justice, ahead of the 2023 general elections, .
Reacting to Governor Wike’s continuous rants against the PDP and its National Leadership, Governor Okowa stated that Dr. Ayu will not be compelled to resign, no matter what, adding that, there is no written Law that backs that, except he chooses to do so willingly.
Governor Okowa spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Olisa Ifeajika, on Monday, to Newsmen.
He also cited evidence to show that Governor Wike is indeed a hypocrite and is insincere about his call for Dr. Ayu’s resignation as the National Chairman of the PDP, just ahead of the elections.
His exact words: “We did not see Wike tell the Chairman to step aside, because a Governorship candidate emerged from the same Senatorial District with him.
“There is no Law that compels Ayu to resign, unless he decides to step aside on his own volition.”
