Wike: BoT Ponders Ayu’s Resignation Over PDP Crisis

The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party could ask the party’s National Chairman to resign, according to sources within the party.

The development is reportedly part of resolutions reached when the BoT met with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in Port Harcourt last week.

According to the sources, there is a high possibility that the BoT might advise Ayu to resign as all efforts to resolve the prolonged crisis with Wike have proved abortive.

An aggrieved Wike is said to have repeatedly told the BoT members that the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar had continually failed to fulfill his to him and his allies, adding that the former Vice President disappointed the Southern bloc of the party over and over with many unfulfilled promises.

Wike further vowed to have anything to do with the PDP Campaign Council except Ayu resigns from office.

The source also said that Wike never desired to be running mate to Atiku, and instead nominated another governor from the South before the latter arrived at Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

Wike was also left pained over the various insults hauled at him by Atiku’s loyalists and the former vice-president failed to caution them to order.

Meanwhile, a member of the BoT Reconciliation Committee, Shuaibu Oyedokun, said the advisory body will compile its report after a meeting in no distant time, adding that all members of Atiku and Wike’s camps have been visited.

“After compilation, we will submit our report to a larger BoT meeting which will consider it before submitting it to the NWC. The working committee will in turn present it to NEC (National Executive Committee),” Oyedokun stated.

Daily Report recalls that the Acting BoT Chairman, Adolphus Wabara led other members including the former Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, Tanimu Turaki, ex-Kogi State Governor, Ibrahim Idris, and four others to Port Harcourt on Tuesday to meet Wike for reconciliation.
