Ayu Acts Like A Fifth Columnist In PDP – Chidiebele Okoye Stephens
Dez Mayorz News
Haven been following all the National Chairmen of the PDP from 1999-2022, as a key media personality. The experience is that Iyorchia Ayu niether shows nor inspires leadership, especially through utterances.
Drawing a battleline with Gov. Wike in an election year over issues of inclusion is strange to the Party or to do in any party, making Ayu looks like someone who wants to destroy or make the party loose election.
Reason is that the central, founding ideology of the PDP is consensus. But consensus is unfortunately dead under Ayu.
Unfortunately too, this happens while Atiku sloganeers unification. An irony!
Ayu was openly biased going into the primaries. He crowned it with a post-election triumphalism against Wike using Tambuwal late withdrawal.
The ‘unifier’ Atiku himself didn’t help matters; instead of picking his running mate quietly (whoever he desires) he turned the process to an occasion for vilifying and taunting Wike, saying he picked someone who himself has presidential qualities.
Wike got the memo of course and decided to give them a little bit of his un-presidential personality.
And he is really enjoying himself now seeing Ayu dancing to the tune played from Port Harcourt.
This and more makes some reasonable people to wonder if Ayu is not a fifth columnist in the PDP with the things he is saying.
Following the PDP tradition, the right thing would have been to allow Ayu prosecute the election and thereafter ask him to resign. But things are different this time around.
A presidential crown and indeed the continued existence of PDP as a political party are at stake.
Unfortunately Atiku is not seeing the bigger picture to make a decisive push on Ayu. But what is my own since I don’t have a dog in that fight. Just a media guy.
