The Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has said that the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who has just been sacked by a court in Benue, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, worked for the victory of Bola Tinubu as the president-elect on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Governor Umahi, who spoke today, March 27, at the commissioning of remodeled community secondary school, Okoro nu Odo, in Rivers State, said: ”I want to also thank the suspended Chairman of the PDP. He did very well because if he had accepted to resign, it would have been very difficult for the APC. So he is our man, and I commend him very, very well.
“And I am begging Wike that they should lift the suspension so that he can suspend many more of their leaders. We love what he has done, and so we commend him.
“I think Asiwaju must know that he worked for him and must also integrate him into the next administration.”
Governor Umahi, who has been elected as Senator under the APC, was in Rivers State on the invitation of Governor Nyesom Wike for the project commissioning in the state.
