PDP crisis: They want to kill me for asking Ayu to resign – Wike

Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has alleged a threat on his life over his call for the resignation of the People’s Democratic party, PDP National Chairman Ayu Iyorchia

Wike alleged that they threatened him for insisting that Ayu should resign as the National Chairman of PDP

He said this at the commissioning of the Akpabu-Itu-Umudiogha road in the Emohua Local Government Area of the state yesterday.

According to him; “When I see some people running around and talking rubbish, they forget history easily. Today, we are not saying the presidential candidate should relinquish his ticket. We are not being selfish.

“We are only saying since you are now the presidential candidate, let our people take chairmanship and they say they will kill me. Is it possible?”

“When you see some rent seekers from here going around saying they will give me minister of finance, they will give me governor of Central Bank, you haven’t killed an animal and you are saying women, don’t eat it. Kill the animal first to know whether women will eat or not.

“I don’t want that kind of promise. Give my people this one we are talking now. Give us the chairman so that things can move freely. They come and tell you stories,” he said.
