The Concerned Deltans for Good Governance group has stormed the Peoples Democratic Party national secretariat demanding the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.

According to Vanguard, the protest was staged on Wednesday out of concern over the ongoing crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party over its 2023 governorship ticket in Delta state.

The protesters demanded that the party recognise David Edevbie as its state governorship candidate while also faulting Ayu’s refusal to obey the order of the Federal High Court which sacked Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori is the PDP standard bearer in next year’s governorship election in Delta.

Recall that the court order which was delivered by Justice Taiwo Taiwo declared Olorogun David Edevbie as the lawfully nominated and authentic candidate of the party.

It also directed the PDP to forward Edevbie’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in addition to ordering INEC to accord him the full rights and privileges due to him as the rightful candidate of the party.

However, most of the protesters who trooped out en masse to demand the party’s compliance with Justice Taiwo’s ruling carried placards with inscriptions, such as “Ayu lacks integrity to push PDP to victory”, “Obey the Abuja FHC judgement”, “BoT help Delta PDP before NWC kills the party” among others.

Addressing reporters during the protest, the leader of the group, Chris Anthony, accused Ayu of leading the party towards destruction.

He said, “There’s a burning issue in Delta state, and it’s about who is the rightful candidate of the PDP in the state.

“Everyone knows that the PDP in Delta is the majority party, but with the action of the National Chairman of the party, we are beginning to be convinced that Ayu is a mole in the party to trade the fortunes of the party to the opposition.

“We have seen Ayu not just as a mole, but also as an actor playing the script written by the opposition to actualise the emergence of an APC governor in Delta state.

“Ayu lacks the capacity to lead the PDP and so should honourably resign because he has demonstrated gross incompetence in handling the affairs of the party. He should resign. Ayu should resign because he cannot manage the affairs of the party well.

“We are talking about defending the democracy that thrives on the rule of law, but Ayu has willfully refused to obey a simple court judgment.”
