A group, Southwest PDP Forum, in a statement by Banji Okunomo and Taofik Gani, supported Makinde’s admonition to Ayu to resign.
The group hailed what it described as ‘Wikes’ and the wisdom of the ‘Bode George‘, as a lasting panacea for peace and eventual victory of the party in next year’s polls.
The group said: “Assuming Dr. Ayu, in his own wisdom, genuinely chose and believed in the emergence of a Northern presidential candidate for the PDP and went further to acknowledge Governor Tambuwal as the hero, following his withdrawal from the presidential race to pave way for Atiku Abubakar at the convention, it is our take that Dr Ayu should indeed, go further to logically and wisely conclude the process that would guarantee the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the next president of Nigeria by making other possible sacrifices necessary to achieve that goal.”
