The National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Iyorchia Ayu, has responded to the corruption allegations leveled against him by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
Last month, Wike had accused the former Senate president of collecting a N1billion bribe from one of the party’s presidential aspirants and refused to remit the same to the party’s coffers.
The governor, who addressed journalists in Port Harcourt on Friday claimed Ayu collected money for the same project twice.
In a swift reaction, Ayu condemned the aspersions on his character and family by the governor and his supporters.
The duo had been at loggerheads over the PDP chairman’s refusal to step down from the position.
