Ogbonna Nwuke, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, has applauded the expulsion of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, from office.
In an interview with Newsmen on Tuesday, Nwuke stated that it is a good thing that the former Senate President has stepped down, claiming that Ayu’s time has come to an end.
The Rivers State PDP Campaign Council’s Director of Publicity and Communications declared that his party’s allies can no longer save him.

Nwuke stated that the PDP leadership must organize an emergency conference to discuss the pressing challenges that have pushed the party backward under Ayu.
He said: “So, it is a good thing that Ayu is gone. We don’t believe that he stepped aside. His time was up and not even his friends could save him. Ayu is gone and gone for good.”
Nwuke said the Rivers PDP would have preferred a Southerner to step in as Ayu’s replacement.
He said, “Ab initio, the issue about a Northern chairman for the party was not a major concern. What made it a concern was that the party produced a candidate from the North against the run of play, against the basic principles of the party constitution.
