PDP Chairman Ayu Blames APC for ‘Mischievous’ Social Media Posts

The Peoples Democratic Party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of sponsoring mischievous posts on the social media against him.

He also said that he had no intention of joining issues with Wike over demands for his resignation.

Ayu was referring to media reports credited to him that Wike cannot procreate and therefore not the biological father of his children.

A statement by Ayu’s Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Simon Imobo-Tswam, on Friday, said “One post purporting to be from the PDP national chairman states that Ayu says he cannot talk to a man who ‘cannot father a child!’

“Another post, with a photograph of Wike and a lady with some children claims that the governor is not ‘the biological father of his three kids.”

“Nothing can be more diabolical, senseless and amateurish. Descending so low is neither in Ayu’s character nor nature.

“Those planting these stories against the PDP and her national chairman are simply showing their lack of intelligence.

“We state, categorically and without equivocation, that the posts are completely false. Even the inelegant construction of the posts puts them beneath Ayu.

“Ayu never said anything after Wike’s statements yesterday, and does not intend to say anything in response.

“This is even more senseless as the national chairman has met Wike’s children on a number of times.

“We advise the APC and other mischievous people engaged in this shameful and criminal enterprise to be more professional next time.”
