The PDP NEC recently passed a vote of confidence on Ayu and the NWC despite calls for the resignation of the party chairman.
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has stated that the vote of confidence passed by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Senator Iyorchia Ayu, as Chairman cannot save him.
The PDP NEC recently passed a vote of confidence on Ayu and the NWC despite calls for the resignation of the party chairman.
However, speaking at the Isaac Boro Park in Port Harcourt, during a reception organised for defectors from various political parties to the PDP on Saturday, Wike said the fight to take out Ayu was on.
“I was watching, listening. They say there is one man called Secondus. They say he was dancing, celebrating that NEC gave their person a vote of confidence. He forgets history.
“Ask him, the same NEC through Aliyu Babangida, who moved a motion for vote of confidence supported by the same person, Ndudi Elumelu, they gave him a vote of confidence. What happened? He left the office.
“We don’t fight and go back. If you like you can have as many as 20 votes of confidence, it’s not my business. My business is to make sure the right thing is done, and the right thing must be done. Whether today or tomorrow,” he said.
He said despite the heightening political aligning and negotiations that are going on, his administration has not abandoned governance in the state.
“I’m not going to play party with the interest of my people. Rivers State is paramount to me first before any other person or group.
“So, the eyes can see what we have done. Up till today, we have not abandoned governance. So many people are already rounding off, taking the last they have but yet, we are still committed to commissioning, and flagging off projects.
“Because of the love we have for our people, we will continue to serve you till May 29, when by the grace of God, Siminialaye Fubara will be inaugurated the governor of Rivers State.”
The governor dismissed efforts by other political candidates as mere attempts to appear on the ballot because there was no hope of winning for them.
