According to Wike, Ayu worked in favour of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar during the primaries, alleging that the PDP chairman did put pressure on other presidential aspirants to withdraw for Atiku.
“There was nothing Ayu didn’t do. (Including) manipulation of delegates list.
“A whole national chairman threatened some of the presidential aspirants at that time that if Wike wins, he was going to resign.
“In fact, he was calling aspirants to withdraw for Atiku Abubakar.”
