TODAY'S NEWS RECAP
Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State, says Iyorchia Ayu, national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), received N1 billion from one of the presidential hopefuls in the party.
The governor made the allegation during a media chat on Friday.
He said Ayu is corrupt, and that the chairman cannot deny that he received the money but refused to remit it to the party’s account.
“Ayu is very corrupt. I’m totally informed. Ayu has the opportunity to challenge me, I will name names,” he said.
“He met one of the presidential candidates and told him that he’s not sure these governors may want to sponsor the party.
