Armed Robbers Are Coming Be Alert – Wike Warns Rivers, Makes Heavy Allegations on Ayu
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has once again attacked the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu describing him as a corrupt man.
The governor, made this allegation at the 2022 Rivers State PDP campaign flag-off and unveiling of the party’s governorship candidate, Sim Fubara, at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, the state capital on Saturday.
Wike claimed that Ayu is a corrupt man who is building a university in his home state of Benue State after less than one year as PDP National Chairman.
The event was attended by members of the G-5 governors who took turns speaking in favour of all the candidates of the party in the state.
According to reports, the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa were not displayed. The duo were also conspicuously absent.
Wike, while speaking accused Ayu of collecting an N1bn bribe, another N100 million and billions of naira raised from the sale of forms but refused to defend himself.
He challenged Ayu to sue him, repeatedly saying, “Ayu, you are corrupt, you cannot lead us to a campaign. You cannot lead Rivers people to the campaign.”
While stopping to apologize personally to the Benue State governor, whom he said was not informed of his latest revelation, Wike added that “Rivers State people are angry.
He said, “I went to Benue State. Ayu you have not stayed one year in office and you are courting corruption.
“Ayu sue me. You are building a University in Benue and you haven’t spent one year in office.
“Shame, shame, shame! You can’t fight Rivers people and go free.
“You can’t fight Nigeria and go free.
“It doesn’t matter the news media, you have to insult me, to insult the G-5 governors, the Integrity Group. If you like, insult us the way you like, the truth must be told.
“Benue State governor, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I’m sorry Oyo and I’m sorry Abia. I’m sorry Enugu. I’m sorry but this is Rivers State talking.
“I can’t kill myself. I’m sorry, anybody can challenge me to a debate. We are the integrity Group.”
Wike went on to allege that some media houses are run by ex-convict and fingered Nduka Obaigena.
He told his audience that he would be leaving the government house happy having fulfilled what he promised the people.
“Rivers people, I say I’m going happily. I’m going with my shoulders high. I didn’t tell you I will do this and did another.
“You have a lot of armed robbers coming. Open your eyes, shine your eyes,” he advised the people.
Wike alongside other G5 governors has been at loggerheads with Ayu and the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The aggrieved PDP governors are calling for the resignation or removal of Ayu as a condition to support Atiku’s presidential ambition.
