Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has blasted the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu.
Speaking during the commissioning of internal roads in Ikwerre Local Government Area, he said:
“Somebody says we are children when he founded PDP in 1998. You can imagine what power can do, you can imagine an ingrate!
Governor Wike who spoke in reaction to comments made against him on Wednesday by the former minister during a BBC Hausa Service interview said: “You said we are children. Those same children brought you from the gutter to become the Chairman. Ayu, You were impeached as a Senator (Senate President). Ayu, Obasanjo sacked you (as a minister).
“You said you founded the party, but you left to go and join ACN (Action Congress of Nigeria). You are like a man who founded a company and left the company with your shares. Others have come to build that company.
“Ayu, you are sleeping in your house and calling me seconds, per second to thank me when I made you chairman, Ayu Haba!
“Seyi Makinde is a boy? Ikpeazu is a boy? You are Ingrate. I kept quiet thinking we can reconcile, even though I gave you money to campaign but you took the money into your pocket.
“You think you can win without us? Don’t worry, at the appropriate time, we shall show you.
“Just look at the type of people that says they want to rule Nigeria, let’s see how.
“You can go and hire media and social media people against me, I will show you when the time comes.
“Ayu, you are an ingrate and you are going nowhere!”.
