The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has stated that the call by some political big wigs in his party, requesting for the resignation of the National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, was achievable.
Atiku disclosed this when he met with PDP stalwarts in Ibadan, on Wednesday.
Wike had criticized the emergence of Atiku as the presidential flag bearer, Iyorchia Ayu, Chairman of the party, and Sen. Walid Jibrin, chairman of the Board of Trustees, BoT, all from the northern part of the country.
Wike accused the party of violating the principles of equity, fairness and balance, noting that the laws guiding the party has been trampled upon.

He insisted that Ayu should honorably do the right thing (resign), and allow a southerner to become the party’s chairman.
Addressing the issue, the chairman of the Board of Trustees, Sen. Walid Jibrin, tendered his resignation letter, paving the way for a former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara (from the South-East), to become the new BoT Chairman.
With Jibin’s resignation, Wike also insisted that the right thing must be done. He stated that Ayu must resign from his position.
