POLITICS NIGERIA learned that Wike made the comment while hosting PDP candidates and local government party chairmen from Cross River State at his residence in Port Harcourt, where he donated 25 buses to support their campaigns.
The delegation of PDP candidates for state and national elections in Cross River State was on a courtesy visit to the rivers strongman.
Speaking at the meeting, Wike said: “We have finished presidential primaries, we have a presidential candidate. Is Wike saying remove presidential candidate? Is Wike saying remove vice presidential candidate?
“So, what are you begging me for? All I am saying, and I will continue to say is that you have taken president, give us (national) chairman.
“I’m not leaving the party. I will work for the party but Agreement is Agreement. If you can’t keep to what we have said now, is it when you’re there you will?”.
“Nobody wants to speak the truth. If I am saying remove the presidential candidate, if I am saying remove the vice-presidential candidate, then you will say why is he doing this.”
“I’ve accepted the presidential candidate, I have accepted the vice-presidential candidate, what’s the problem again. You, fulfil your part.
“Let the South have something, that is all I’m preaching. You cannot have a presidential candidate, national chairman, director general of the campaign.”
He added that Ayu’s resignation is the only thing that will initiate a path to peace.
