A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sam Ohuabunwa has urged the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to resign if it will end the enmity between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
Ayu had reportedly agreed to resign when he was elected as the party’s Chairman last year if the PDP picked a Northerner as a presidential candidate.
However, after the emergence of Atiku as the PDP’s presidential flagbearer, it was expected that Ayu will step down but he maintained he has no intention of resigning.
“I see him [Ayu] as a man of honour,” Ohuabunwa said.
“If that is what he said, then he should follow the path of honour.
“Even if he didn’t say it, if he is the leader of the party who has brought us to this point, he should make the sacrifice.
“Do what needs to be done and make sure Nigerians are happy with PDP, members of PDP are happy.
“If he needs to step down for that to happen, he should do so. We need to unify the party.
“This party is bleeding right now,” Ohuabunwa added
