Iyorchia Ayu, National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has disputed claims made by Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike that he received N1 billion from a party Governor.
Wike made the claim during a press conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State’s capital, on Friday, October 14, 2022.

However, Ayu stated that he never collected money as a person and that any funds received on behalf of the party were duly remitted to the PDP treasury.
He did, however, mention that a PDP governor donated N100 million for the rebuilding of the PDP’s Democratic Institute, adding that the money has yet to be depleted because the renovation is still ongoing.
Ayu stated that the institute will be operational in the coming weeks.
