Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has again hit out at Iyorcha Ayu, the erstwhile Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, accusing him of squandering N12.5 billion party funds in two months.
Wike said the the money was raised during the Congress but the leadership of the party under Ayu blew it in just two months.
The governor alleged that “I believe we should have strong leadership. I can’t support people whose interest is only to amass money.
“I can’t support people where we did congresses and raised about N12.5 billion and, within two months, that money was gone.
“Somebody stayed in office for one year and he is building an institution. I won’t support such.
That is why we believe PDP will be strengthened with the new leadership.
“I owe no apology to anybody. I said it before, this is the final fight we will fight and we are going to win this fight.”
Preempting the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) coming after him when his governorship ends, Wike bragged that the thought doesn’t scare him because there is nothing to hide as his numerous projects delivered were evidence of how accountable he deployed the state’s resources.
