November 19, (THEWILL) – Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has again lashed out at the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, declaring him a corrupt man.
Making a fresh accusation, Wike alleged that Ayu is building a university in Benue state, having spent less than a year in office as the National Chairman.
The Governor said he had accused Ayu of collecting N1 billion bribe, another N100 million and billions of naira raised from the sale of forms but has failed to defend himself.
Wike, who spoke on Saturday, at the PDP Governorship campaign flag-off in the State, dares the PDP National Chairman to sue him if his allegations were false.
Throwing a Challenge at Ayu to sue him, Wike said, “Ayu, you are corrupt, you cannot lead us to a campaign. You cannot lead Rivers people to the campaign.
“I went to Benue State. Ayu you have not stayed one year in office and you are courting corruption.
“Ayu sue me. You are building a University in Benue and you haven’t spent one year in office.
“Shame, shame, shame! You can’t fight Rivers people and go free. You can’t fight Nigeria and go free.
“It doesn’t matter the news media, you have to insult me, to insult the G-5 Governors, the Integrity Group. If you like, insult us the way you like, the truth must be told.”
He told the people that he will be leaving the government house happy having fulfilled what he promised and advised them to vote wisely and beware of robbers.
“Rivers people, I say I’m going happily. I’m going with my shoulders high. I didn’t tell you I will do this and did another.
“You have a lot of armed robbers coming. open your eyes, shine your eyes”, he advised the people.
The event was attended by members of the G-5 Governors, who took turns speaking in favour of all the candidates of the party in the state.
