Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, has boasted that nobody would sack him as the National Chairman of the opposition party.
Ayu who addressed his kinsmen of Jemgba ethnic group at his residence in the Gboko area of Benue State, said there’s nothing to worry about as he would only leave the seat at a day that God permits.
He said “The PDP is one and not divided. I am trying my best not to disappoint Benue people and Nigerians in general. So, if you hear that they want to chase Ayu out as national chairman, don’t be worried; nobody is going to sack me as national chairman of our party. I will leave the seat at a day that God permits.

“Since I started politics in PDP in the last 30 years. Gboko has not rejected me. You are always supporting me. They say a prophet has no respect in his home, but my case is different. I am overwhelmed by this great show of love. Nothing should worry you my people.
“So, nobody should try to bring any trouble to you. I am telling you today, PDP is one party. A party that has divisions does not win elections. No matter the strength of any party, if it does not have unity, it will lose elections.
“I have been silent over all the things you are hearing against me because I don’t want any crack in the party. I belong in my state. I have the powers to say you and you will not go anywhere because I will insist that I must sign before you go anywhere.
“But, I have signed for all candidates produced by the PDP to go ahead in their dreams, whether I liked it or not I signed. So, I was doing that believing that I cannot shot myself in the leg.
“I want Benue to come first by winning all elections so that Nigerians will say that the national chairman has delivered his state to PDP with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar winning 90 percent of the votes and Titus Uba as governor in 2023.”
