Ayu Is Our Man, He Worked For Tinubu – Umahi

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has alleged that Iyorchia Ayu worked for Bola Tinubu to emerge as President.

Recall that Ayu, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is battling to keep his job after being suspended by the party.

Umahi made the claim on Monday during the commissioning of remodelled community secondary school, Okoro nu Odo, in Rivers State.

He was in Rivers on the invitation of Governor Nyesom Wike for the project commissioning in the state.

Umahi insisted that Tinubu must know that Ayu worked for him so he could integrate him into the next administration.

”I want to also thank the suspended Chairman of the PDP. He did very well because if he had accepted to resign, it would have been very difficult for the APC. So he is our man, and I commend him very, very well. And I am begging Wike that they should lift the suspension so that he can suspend many more of their leaders. We love what he has done, and so we commend him. I think Asiwaju must know that he worked for him and must also integrate him into the next administration,” Umahi said.

Recall that Ayu was suspended by the Benue State branch of the PDP, an action he had described as an exercise in futility.
