National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Iyorchia Ayu, has insisted that he will not be pressured into resigning his position.
Speaking in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Ayu said that those calling for his resignation are political amateurs.
It has been reported that the Wike who is aggrieved over the conduct of the PDP presidential primary has given Ayu’s resignation as one of the conditions that has to be fulfilled for him to remain in the PDP.
Wike and his allies have argued that it is unfair for the party’s chairman and its presidential flagbearer to hail from the same region (North).

“I was voted as PDP Chairman for a four-year tenure and I’m yet to complete a year. Atiku’s victory doesn’t affect the Chairman’s position. I won my election based on our party’s constitution.”
“I didn’t commit any offense I’m only reforming the party so I’m not bothered with all the noises. I know I’m doing my work and I didn’t steal any money so I see no reason for all these talks. When we started PDP, these children were not around. They are children who do not know why we formed the party. We will not allow any individual to destabilize our party,” he said.
