“I think this party is famous for settling disagreements and going on to win elections in the past. This time is not an exception.
“I am happy that the majority of people are interested in our party. So, because we disagree among ourselves within our capacity, we have done it before and I believe we will do it again.”
Despite Walid Jibril’s resignation as chairman of the Board of Trustees, Governor Nyesom Wike has maintained that Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP chairman, must quit.
Wike reaffirmed his position on Ayu’s resignation and cited a purported commitment made by PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar after winning the party’s primary election in May.
