Those calling for my resignation are children when we formed PDP they were not around -- Ayu blast his critics.

National chairman of Peoples Democratic party (PDP) Senator Iyorchia Ayu has fired back at  the people calling for his resignation.

Recall there has been crack in PDP between governor Nyesom Wike camp and Atiku since after their presidential primaries as some members of the party are calling for the resignation of Ayu since the presidential candidate is from the northern part of Nigeria.

Ayu said: “I was voted as PDP chairman for a four-year tenure and I’m yet to complete a year. Atiku’s victory doesn’t affect the Chairman’s position. I won my election based on our party’s constitution.

 “I didn’t commit any offense I’m only reforming the party so I’m not bothered with all the noises. I know I’m doing my work and I didn’t steal any money so I see no reason for all these talks. When we started PDP, these children were not around. 

Those in Governor Wike’s camp have argued that it is unfair for the party’s chairman and its presidential flagbearer to come from the same region alleging that Ayu promised to resign if a northern candidate emerges as the presidential flagbearer.
