Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso’s departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been attributed to Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP’s national chairman.
Recall that Kwankwaso joined the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and chose the party’s presidential ticket, while Obi joined the Labour Party (LP) after defecting from the PDP and became the party’s presidential candidate.
In an interview with Channels TV, Mohammed Jamo, a PDP leader, charged Ayu with being to blame for their defection.

This occurs at the same time when four PDP National Working Committee (NWC) members refunded funds that Ayu had deposited into their accounts.
Jamo asserts that the PDP would have won the 2023 presidential election by a landslide if Obi and Kwankwaso remained in the party.
He pointed out that the pair will be a force in the upcoming election.
Jamo added that Ayu mishandled the problems that resulted in the departure of some important party members.
He said, “I have said my mind on the issue of Iyorchia Ayu even the last time I was a guest here. Mr Iyorchia Ayu needs to go.

“Today in Nigeria, we have four major political parties; before these four major political parties emerged, what we had were two political parties.”
Jamo claimed that Ayu’s errors led to the creation of the other political parties which are now competing with the PDP.
