Following another media interview in which Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike got personal with the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu mentioning his family, the former Senate President has broken his silence in the face of financial allegations made against him.
Ayu wants Governor Wike to desist from further defaming his character.
The PDP National Chairman spoke after a closed-door meeting with members of the party’s Board of Trustees, BoT in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
In his words:
“When the first allegation was made I decided not to respond however I wish to make it clear that at no time did I as a National Chairman collect N1 billion from any body.

Despite financial difficulties in the party, I didn’t collect one naira from anybody. I promise to present the party’s account at the end of the year.
On today’s accusations, luckily, I had briefed the BoT that one of our Governors donated N100 million for the renovation of the PDI.
I am happy to state that the National Secretary has written to the Governor asking for his presence for inspection.
Infact, we have not even finished the N100 million.
As the father of the party, I appeal to those against me to desist from trying to malign my character or dragging my family into it.
In the next few weeks, I will call all party members to come forward for the Commissioning of the PDI”
