Prior to the 2023 Presidential election, Senator Dino Melaye, a former congressman who currently represents Kogi West, has issued a warning against forcible removal of the party’s national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.

Melaye said that the removal of Ayu, which is being supported by River State Governor Nyesom Wike, will cause a constitutional crisis in the party while answering questions from the Daily Post at Senator Tunde Ogbeha’s 75th birthday celebration.

Governor Wike, who Melaye referred to as a very responsible Nigerian who will soon be 60, was supported by PDP Governors, including Wike, for the position of PDP national chairman, according to Melaye.

He said removing Ayu is like committing abortion in PDP before the outcome of the 2023 Presidential election.

Melaye said “I was at the convention when he made an open promise before Nigerians on national television that whoever emerges as the candidate of the PDP, he will support that person. I still stand on that because he is a man of integrity and I am not seeing him eating his words.

“ So whatever misgiving you see, is as a result of the primary. It is normal that after any primary, there will be agitations and complaints but these are not elements that are strong enough to divide the party.

“We are not out for a constitutional crisis. Iyorchia Ayu is a product of all the Governors including Wike. That is why he is a consensus candidate. So asking for Ayu’s removal is uncalled for. Are they saying they didn’t know he was a Northerner before they gave him the consensus candidacy of the party? All the Governors, including Wike spent their money to make Ayu the National Chairman.

“So its too late to call for his removal when we have not even conducted an election. But if and when by the grace of God Atiku becomes the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, or if he becomes President-elect, then we can now go back to the negotiation table and then treat the issue of Ayu. But for now, it is very premature and we cannot commit abortion.

The former Kogi West congressman described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a supervisor of Nigeria who is travelling around to make sure the country is in order when asked about Obasanjo’s visit to Ibrahim Babangida, Peter Obi, and Abdulsalam Abubakar prior to the 2023 Presidential election.

However, he bragged that former President Obasanjo would be powerless to prevent Atiku from leading Nigeria.

“I wouldn’t know why Obasanjo is moving around because I don’t have celestial power to read people’s minds. But I want to tell you that no force will stop Atiku from becoming the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria” he stated.
