I Never Collected Money From Anybody - Ayu Replies Wike

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Iyorchia Ayu has denied the allegations of the Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike.

Ayu debunked Wike’s claims while responding to questions about the allegations against him and also promised that the statement of the party account will be made available to party members soon.

TalkGlitz earlier today reported that Wike during a media chat on Friday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State said the national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu collected100 million from a governor.

Ayu said he never collected any money as an individual, adding that monies also received on behalf of the party were duly remitted to the PDP treasury.

He, however, noted that a governor of the party donated N100m for the renovation of the PDP’s Democratic Institute, and the money has not even been exhausted as the renovation is ongoing.

The PDP National Chairman said as the father of the party he decided to be quiet for peace to reign.

Ayu also appealed to all aggrieved members of the party to leave his family out saying. “I felt I should encourage reconciliation. But where it touches on my integrity, which even my own family members are brought into play.

“I appeal to aggrieved people to desist from trying to malign my character or bringing my family into party affairs.

” I never collected 1 billion from anybody. And the 100 million that was donated by one of the governors was judiciously used for the purpose that it was given”.
