Wike claims that Atiku and Ayu agreed that Ayu would quit, and he claims that the PDP is being supported by "someone in the president.

 On Thursday, Wike gave a speech at the opening of a Rivers State University campus in the state's Ahoada east LGA.

There has been a crisis inside the PDP since the party's presidential primary in May, with Wike and his allies asking for Ayu's resignation on the grounds that the national chairman and the presidential candidate cannot be from the same region.

Ayu, though, has resisted demanding for his resignation and has called those doing so children.

Ayu had stated he would retire if a northerner were chosen as the party's presidential candidate. Wike made reference to this in his remarks on Thursday.

On the grounds that the party chairman must be from the south given that the presidential candidate is from the north, the Rivers governor further claimed that Atiku told him Ayu must go.

Ayu remarked that the chairman of our party would come from the south if the presidential candidate is from the north. He stated as much at the North-Central meeting held in the home of Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed. He told them so when he met with the Senate caucus, according to Wike.

On Monday, about 10:30am, the party's candidate visited me in my home in Abuja after our convention was over. Listen, I want us to collaborate, I said. Look, Ayu must go, he remarked.

I asked why," He stated that the chairman will come from the south if a contender is from the north. Implement what you told me, I'm saying.

What wrongdoing have I done? Integrity is the issue; Wike has nothing to do with it. I ask the presidential hopeful to refute this. If he says otherwise, I'll say even more to Nigerians because enough is enough.

The governor of Rivers also said that someone in the White House is supporting

Why are they acting so haughtily? They are conceited because they think they have the support of someone in the White House. But what they fail to realize is that the same individual in the White House supported a failed APC presidential candidate.

At the proper moment, I'll let Nigerians know which member of the president is supporting them and supporting their arrogance.

Wike continued by saying that Nigerians are being misled into believing that he is the one who is disrupting the party.

Some of you are unaware of what is going on. They are lying when they claim that Wike is the cause of the issue. Wike is delivering peace to the nation, not creating problems. Justice is something Wike fights for. Wike is fighting for fairness and equity, the speaker said.

Let me educate those of you who don't know how a party works. Some of you are illiterate. You believe the presidential primary process is over and finished. I believe individuals are insane or have a mental illness when they claim I want to ruin the party because I didn't win the primary.

There must be a loser and a winner in a competition. I don't feel guilty. We ran a strong campaign for election, and we are not embarrassed.
