Ayu Speaks On Wike’s N1bn, N100m Bribe Allegations

Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Iyorchia Ayu has reacted to fraud allegations levelled against him by Rivers state governor, Nyesome Wike.

Wike alleged that Ayu collected N1 billion from a governor during a media parley on Friday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

But Ayu said he never collected any money as an individual, adding that monies also received on behalf of the party were duly remitted to the PDP treasury.

He, however, noted that a governor of the party donated N100m for the renovation of the PDP’s Democratic Institute, and the money has not even been exhausted as the renovation is ongoing.

Ayu said the institute will be commissioned in the weeks ahead.
