I Did Not Meet Wike – Ayu

The PDP National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, has denied that he met the Rivers State Governor, HE Nyesom Wike in Port Harcourt, the River’s State Capital, or anywhere else in Nigeria yesterday.

The national chairman stated this while dismissing a picture of Wike and himself in a pose which surfaced on social media yesterday evening.

But in a statement by his Special Adviser to the National Chairman on Media and Communications, Simon Imobo-Tswam, Ayu stated “1. He never travelled to Port Harcourt and

2. He has not set eyes on Gov. Wike lately.

“The photograph trending on the social media is an old one. The story accompanying it is, therefore, false and mischievous.

“He also adds, for the purpose of factual accuracy, that he is in no way embattled.”

The statement added that the national chairman is, rather, enjoying the New Year Break with his family.

“The general public and, especially the PDP Family, is advised to ignore the story and focus on the historic task ahead of the party next month,” he said.
