The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said that the children of the National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyorchia Ayu would disown him if his secret dealings in the party were revealed.
Wike made this known on Friday in a media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, barely 48 hours after he revealed that he would never change his stance on Ayu’s removal.
“In fact, let me also tell you, Ayu collected N100 million from a governor.
“If not for the love of this party, if we release what we have, Ayu’s children will go to him and say we are no longer your children,” Wike said.

Asked why the party has not prosecuted Ayu for the alleged infractions, Wike said that could only be done when the national chairman steps down.
“Who is going to prosecute you? Who is the chairman of the party?” the Rivers governor quipped.
Speaking with a PDP delegation from Cross River State on Wednesday night, Wike had disclosed why he wanted Ayu removed immediately.
“We have finished presidential primaries. We have a presidential candidate. Is Wike saying remove presidential candidate? Is Wike saying remove vice presidential candidate? So, what are you begging me for? All I am saying, and I will continue to say is that you have taken president, give us (national) chairman.
“Nobody wants to speak the truth. If I am saying remove the presidential candidate, if I am saying remove the vice presidential candidate, then you will say why is he doing this,” was quoted as saying in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri.
Earlier, he claimed that Ayu collected N1 billion from a presidential candidate to meddle in the presidential primaries.
