The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, has denied meeting with the River’s State Governor, Nyesom Wike on Wednesday in Port Harcourt, River’s State Capital or anywhere else in Nigeria.
Instead, he said in a statement by Simon Imobo-Tswam, his Special Adviser on Media and Communications, that he never travelled to Port Harcourt nor has set eyes on Gov. Wike lately.
OPTIMUM TIMES learnt that Ayu’s denial is against the backdrop of earlier proposed emergency meeting of PDP Board of Trustee members in Port Harcourt with Wike on Wednesday convened by a Former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara in an attempt to douse the lingering PDP Crisis and disagreement with the G-5 PDP Governors.
But Ayu cited that he photograph trending on the social media is an old one. The story accompanying it is, therefore, false and mischievous.
Ayu added that for the purpose of factual accuracy, that he is in no way embattled.
“The National Chairman is, rather, enjoying the New Year Break with his family.
“The general public and, especially the PDP Family, is advised to ignore the story and focus on the historic task ahead of the party next month”, the statement stressed.
