The PDP Chairman accused the APC of using the governor’s name to institute what he referred to as a” bogus suit ‘ describing the APC action as desperate and criminal
Ayu while hailing Governor Wike for coming out to dissociate himself from the suit said
” His Excellency, Governor Wike never took the party to court. It is the APC that did it. The first name in the case is a coordinator of the presidential candidate of the APC.
” We know very well that they don’t believe they can win any election . They have decided to divide you.But don’t allow any APC manipulation to divide you.
” They are the ones sponsoring false stories of the crisis in PDP. PDP has no crisis. It is a united party ” He said.
