PDP Crisis: I Can Stop Ortom, Others From Contesting – Ayu
Iyorchia Ayu, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said that although he has the power to stop Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State and others calling for his resignation from contesting election under the PDP, he has chosen not to do so.
He said that his decision not to tow the path was to avoid a crack in the party.
Ayu disclosed this while speaking to his supporters at his countryside in Gboko on Friday.
Governor Ortom along with four other governors had called on Ayu to resign his position after Atiku Abubakar emerged as the party’s presidential candidate.
The governors are against the North occupying the position of the party’s National Chairman and presidential candidate.
