We Will Chase Atiku, Ayu From PDP – Wike Vows

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has pledged to drive out the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential nominee, Atiku Abubakar, as well as the PDP’s National Chairperson, Iyorchia Ayu, and several other party leaders.

Gov. Wike made the pledge during the launching of a road project in Rivers State’s Ikwerre Local Government Area on Thursday.

Wike blamed the PDP’s loss in the recently ended presidential election on people he said refused to obey the PDP Constitution. He pledged to kick them out of the party and begin the rebuilding process.

The governor described the move as the “second phase of the war.”

According to him: “These people left our party in 2014-2015, our party lost; again they came back, our party has lost again.”

“They have destroyed our party. We are going to chase them away from our party. They have no role to play in our party.”

Wike also chastised the PDP leadership for blaming the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission for failing to follow election guidelines when they (the PDP) reportedly failed to follow the party’s constitution.

He also criticized the PDP leaders for organizing the demonstration against INEC, referring to them as “student unions.”
