GOVERNOR Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has alleged that the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Iyorchia Ayu, collected N100m as a kickback from a governor.
Wike made this claim today in a media chat in Port Harcourt.
The accusation came on the heels of another salacious one he made in a similar media chat some time ago where he accused the PDP chairman of having taken N1billion bribe from an undisclosed source.
“In fact, let me also tell you; Ayu collected N100 million bribe from a governor,” Wike declared during the media chat.
“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.”
When the interviewers asked him to name the governor, Wike bluntly refused but instead dared Ayu to deny the allegation.
He also did not say where, when and why Ayu collected the alleged bribe.
Rather, he doubled down on his claims, threatening to spill more beans should the embattled PDP chairman do a rebuttal.
Wike also commented on the money returned by some members of the PDP National Working Committee and the party’s defence that the money was approved.
“Let them show the minutes where it was approved,” Wike retorted. “My problem in this country is the way our people are being deceived. When these politicians come out, whatever they tell you, you to hop here and there.
“You made over N14 billion. They say we are going for election. Ask them. The election that took place in a sitting room. How much did the party spend? Ask them!”
