The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Sen. Iyorchia Ayu, has said that those calling for his resignation are children who were not there when they started the party.
According to Ayu, he is not bothered about the calls for his resignation adding that he was voted as PDP Chairman for a four-year tenure and is yet to complete a year.
In an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, the national chairman pointed out that even if there would be another election, those calling for his resignation would not be replacing him.
“I was voted as PDP Chairman for a four-year tenure and I’m yet to complete a year. Atiku’s victory doesn’t affect the Chairman’s position. I won my election based on our party’s constitution.
“I didn’t commit any offence; I’m only reforming the party so I’m not bothered with all the noises. I know I’m doing my work and I didn’t steal any money so I see no reason for all these talks.
“When we started PDP, these children were not around. They are children who do not know why we formed the party. We will not allow any individual to destabilize our party,” he said.
Recall that Wikes camp has allegedly been calling for the resignation of Ayu as a condition to support the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 election.
