Peter Obi ultimate gainer of PDP infighting — Wike’s former aide

“This is unbelievable. How then does the PDP wish to attract the trust and votes of Nigerians, especially those of Southern extraction, given its now pro-Northern slant?”

Terming the demands by Wike’s camp, particularly the imperative for Ayu’s resignation, as legitimate, Oraye condemned the stance credited to former Vice President Atiku for describing all pressures on to him prevail on Ayu to step down as party National Chairman for a Southerner to occupy the seat as completely untenable.

The former Aide to Wike stated, “One can readily see the manifest contradictions in the BOT Chairman of the Party being prevailed upon to resign and a new BOT Chairman appointed, and on the suspension of the zoning of the party’s presidential ticket despite constitutional provisions on these matters.

“Again Governor Wike was right to raise these contradictions and throw up the need for the same procedural waivers that excused those actions, on the basis of the doctrine of necessity.
