Rivers state governor Nyesom Wike, has again revealed another scandalous involvement of embattled PDP National Chairman Iyorchia Ayu in the collection of a whopping sum of ₦100 million from a governor.
Wike made this revelation on Friday morning during a media chat on Politics and Governance, monitored live by Truthlive.net.
Wike said: “Listen, I told you that other day that I am the governor of Rivers state. I don’t just come out and speak. Let Ayu say he did not collect 1 billion Naira. In fact, let me also tell you that Ayu collected 100 million Naira from a governor that was meant to renovate our democratic institutes. He (Ayu) returned to NWC and took 300 million Naira for doing the same work.
“What kind of system is that? I am telling you all these are facts. Let him (Ayu) say no first and I will tell you (those he collected money from).”
“A leader must be a man of integrity. And I have realized that people find it hard to have that (integrity) lately. You are presenting a man (Ayu) who lacks integrity as chairman of the party. Somebody who wants to lead a campaign to take the reigns of government?
“What is the problem with what we are asking of Ayu? We are saying let there be equity, let there be fairness and justice.
“But if you don’t want it that way then you are the one causing the crisis (in the party) and that shows you (Ayu) don’t have leadership skills because this is the time to show it. This is the time to show leadership skills on the part of the party’s leaders.”
