‘I want to also reveal to you that the NWC under the leadership of the Deputy National Chairman, Amb. Iliya Damagun, will be going to see not only Gov Wike but every other person who is aggrieved. It is the unanimous decision of the NWC and we think that your leading the fight for peace and full reconciliation in the party will be helpful,’ Ayu stated.
‘There is a time for anger and there’s a time for the anger to stop. So help us to reach out to all aggrieved members and try and heal the party with your new role as the party Chairman of the BoT.’
Meanwhile, Wike has vowed not to relent in the fight for the return of a healthy party structure that will guarantee an even representation as far as the interest of the North and South in the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is concerned.
According to the governor, the current leadership structure as presently constituted with the North holding the presidential ticket as well as the national chairman positions was against the constitution of the PDP and a gross injustice against the South.
Wike made this known while speaking at the inauguration of the Ahoada Campus and staff quarters of the Rivers State University, which was performed by the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Thursday.
