The Ayu/Wike feud has gone on for too lengthy and the variations seem irreconcilable. With such mentality of if-you-Wike-me-I-will-Ayu-you prevailing and enduring the PDP could have misplaced the prospect of sacking the APC mob from Aso Villa.
Critics and demanding stakeholders had collectively slammed Atiku for taking part in harmful tribal politics and lambasted the Chicago State College ‘graduate’ for his diminishing mind.
The opposition PDP stands a superb probability of bouncing again to energy subsequent 12 months if the rising vociferous third pressure (LP’s Peter Obi) fails to get its acts collectively. However there are excellent points confronting the PDP which, if left unresolved, might jeopardise their possibilities on the polls. One of many points occurs to be the Wike/Ayu rift.
Having dominated Nigeria for sixteen unbroken years with constructions implanted in virtually each nook of the nation the PDP apparatchiks are determined to return to Aso Villa.
However the division within the celebration, the cacophony of discordant tunes emanating from completely different camps (every diametrically opposed) threat seeing the celebration imploded even earlier than the essential election.
On the one hand you could have the Wike camp (Olabode George, Governors Seyi Makinde, Samuel Ortom, Jerry Gana and so forth) insisting adamantly that the nationwide Chairman of the celebration, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, should resign following the emergence of Atiku because the flagbearer of the celebration.
They’ve been persistent and constant in calling for Ayu’s ouster arguing strongly that the Chairman himself had pledged to give up upon a northerner trumping the opposition within the PDP Nationwide Conference.
Governor Wike had upped the ante by accusing Chairman Ayu of high-wire corruption! After all, Ayu dedicated a ‘crime’ by overtly endorsing Atiku throughout the conference and dealing laborious for his dollarised emergence. By lauding the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu ‘Brutus’ Tambuwal, who withdrew on the eleventh hour for Atiku Ayu betrayed his partisanship.
And alternatively the Atiku/Ayu camp sustaining that Ayu should go in strict accordance and compliance with the celebration’s structure. One doesn’t know why Ayu and his supporters are nonetheless insisting that he stays put even though Atiku had emerged because the candidate of the celebration. If not filthy lucre then nothing justifies their stance.
