PDP Reaffirms Confidence In Ayu Amid Resignation Calls

The Peoples Democratic Party has reaffirmed commitment to the leadership of its National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, made this known on Thursday at the party’s headquarters in Wadata Plaza, Abuja.

This comes after the reconciliatory meeting held on Thursday by the Board of Trustees for its presidential candidate Atiku Abubakkar and Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike.

Supporters of Wike had demanded the resignation of National Chairman, Ayu as one of its conditions for the reconciliation, however the meeting comprising the National Working Committee NWC, former national, state, and zonal publicity secretaries of the party expressed a vote of confidence for Ayu led PDP.

However, barely 24 hours after setting up a committee by the party’s Board of Trustees to wade into the disagreement between Atiku and Wike, the duo were reportedly met at the residence of Jerry Gana, a pundit of the party.

According to the outcome of the meeting, Debo stated that the PDP has resolved to “restate confidence in the National Chairman, Sen. Iyorchia Ayu, and the National Working Committee NWC in running the affairs of the Party.

The party also “restates confidence in the capacity, experience, and competence of H.E Atiku Abubakar to rescue, redirect and rebuild this country to earn the respect of the international community.”
