Iyorchia Ayu, the national chairman of the PDP, has come under fire for not conducting party business in a just and fair manner, according to Shehu Sagagi, the party’s chairman in Kano State. Later, Sagagi disclosed that he now concurs with the G-5 governors’ efforts to depose Iyorchia Ayu.
Remember that Sagagi and Iyorchia Ayu seem to have broken off their relationship after Ayu unsuccessfully tried to prevent Muhammad Abacha, the son of the late Sani Abach, from running for governor of Kano State in the PDP. Although Iyorchia Ayu favoured a different candidate, Sagagi was in favor of Muhammed Abacha running for governor.
Sagagi has finally come up to express his support for Nyesom Wike and the G-5 governors after a high court decided in favor of Muhammad Abacha. Sagagi and the G-5 governors now seem to feel the same way about how Iyorchia Ayu has handled the party’s business. Due to the strategic importance of Kano State in Nigerian politics, Sagagi is a crucial PDP member.
