The last has not been heard about the crisis bedevilling the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party PDP.
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in a tell it all television interview, yesterday, dared the party to suspend him for alleged anti-party activities and be prepared for the consequences.
He said this after alleging that the party’s National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, who he has been campaigning should resign, collected N1billion from an undisclosed source in Lagos prior to the PDP presidential primaries.
Wike spoke as the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar cautioned his aides against insulting the Rivers State governor, saying there is still room for reconciliation.
Disclosing this, Atiku’s Spokesman, Daniel Bwala said on Television that “Wike remains a pride of the party.”
Wike’s can of worms
Asked what his reaction would be if the party considered his activities to be anti-party and decides to suspend him, Wike said: “Who will suspend me? What do you think is my job here? I’m not saying I’m bigger than the party but those who ran away from the party cannot suspend me from the party. I beg them, today, today they should come and suspend me. Anything they see, they will take.
“Ayu is corrupt. Quote me. I am a lawyer and I am the governor of Rivers State. Can Ayu deny that he did not collect one billion Naira in Lagos? He told one of the PDP presidential aspirants before the primaries that the governors were not ready to fund the party.”
