Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has called for the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman.
Makinde made the call during the PDP South-West stakeholders meeting which held in Ibadan on Wednesday.
He stated that Ayu’s resignation will bring about inclusiveness in the PDP as the party’s National Chairman and presidential candidate were from the Northern part of the country.
“Our party wants to rescue Nigeria and our candidate is a unifier. He wants to restructure Nigeria.
“Eight years of the All Progressives Congress have left us sharply divided. The issue is we must practice what we preach. If we want to unify Nigeria, we must unify the PDP first.
“If we want to restructure Nigeria, we must have the willingness to bring inclusivity to the PDP. Do we have the capacity? The answer is resounding yes.

“The message from the south-west PDP is that the south-west is asking that the national working committee (NWC) of the PDP should be restructured.
“We are asking the national chairman to step down so that the south will be fully included. That is the message,” the governor said.
ThisNigeria reports that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has been at the forefront of calls for Ayu’s resignation as the latter had promised to step down as the party chairman if its presidential candidate emerged from the North.
