PDP National Chairman IYORCHIA AYU clear the allegation against him by Gov Wike.

When the first allegation was made i.e. the N1billion - I decided not to respond because we don’t want to cause altercations in the party. However, I want to make it clear that at no time did I, as the National Chairman of PDP collect any N1billion from anybody.
The consistent attacks on my person since the end of the convention on the 31st of May are deliberate and unfortunate. I have restrained myself from reacting. As the father of the party, I felt I should encourage reconciliation.
But where it touches on my personal integrity, of which even my own family members are brought into play, it is incumbent upon me to reply.

So, I state that I never collected N1bn from anybody.
Also the N100m that was donated by one of the governors has been judiciously used for the purpose it was given. And in the next few weeks, we will be inviting all party leaders, including members of the press, to come for the commissioning of the PDI.
When we came in and the party had funding difficulties, the current presidential candidate suggested that the party should take a loan of N1bn from a bank. And the owner of that bank was also an influential member of this party. He has left the party now.
But when we discussed with him, we discarded the idea. And the party never took any loan or any money from anybody. And I as a person never collected N1billion from anybody.
Any money advanced to the party was declared before the National Working Committee (NWC) and handed over to the National Treasurer of the party.
The party’s accounts are straight. They are up to date. And we promise to present the audited account to the public at the end of the year.

On today’s allegations – “luckily, I had fully briefed the Board of Trustees (BoT) that one of our governors made a contribution of N100m to the revival of the Peoples Democratic Institute which was housed in a portacabin.

The Lord Almighty I served will continue to strengthen the indefatigable Pdp National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, all his steps in Pdp will be victorious. Senator Iyorchia Ayu has cleared the air again. Thank you sir. Wike your political career is going to an end. This is how Fayose and Ameachi started.

So a governor is donating state money to party chairman for a favour.That is why governors cannot meet up with their state demand.Some are still owing state workers backlog of salaries.

Also,some of you that are saving money in the bank should think twice.Bank chairmen are giving out loans without collateral to political parties.

Wike political career is going to an end and he will never survive it. This is how some people in the past that turned themselves as thin god end. They end disgracefully. As you disgrace Chief Uche Secondus in the seat, The Lord Almighty will disgrace Wike in the seat and the Lord has started the works already. Karma will surely backfired. You just started.

"It's risky for Ayu to resign now and any chairman coming in now as the National Chairman of PDP will take time to understand the running of the party especially now that the party is going into a very important election. It can only be fair for him to resign after the 2023 election".
