He revealed that Wike’s financial backing of Ayu ensured that there was no competition for the role, with Ayu being elected unopposed during the convention.Melaye questioned Wike’s current stance, pointing out the irony of Wike now labeling Ayu as a northerner when he was the one who supported Ayu from the beginning.

He said, “Wike was desperate to be vice president, and after failing, he suddenly started a southern agenda. I don’t trust or respect someone like Wike, who lacks principles and integrity.””Wike brought in Ayu, financially supported him, and made the governors back him.continue Reading>>>

That’s why there was no election for the national chairman role; Ayu was unopposed.””Now, Wike claims Ayu is a northerner, but he’s the one who put him there. He only did this to serve his selfish desire to become the presidential candidate from the South.””Wike wanted the chairmanship to stay in the North so it wouldn’t interfere with his ambition to be the southern presidential candidate.

When Ayu refused to back him as the candidate, Wike turned against him and made him an enemy.”
