Tension As Plot To Impeach Senator Iyorchia Ayu Forces PDP To Shift Caucus, NEC Meetings
Details have emerged revealing why the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) postponed its national caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
Naija News recalls that in a notice for the postponement signed by the party’s National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.

It was gathered that a plot by some party leaders to sack the National Chairman, Senator Iyiochia Ayu, was largely responsible for the postponement of the meetings earlier scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
A source in the PDP leadership told Vanguard, “As far as I know, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, does not have any problem with Atiku, Ayu has not been transparent in handling party affairs since he took over.

“And the role he played during the selection of the presidential running mate won him a lot of enemies.
“There are a lot of issues in our state chapters which he ought to have handled differently.
“If the Caucus and NEC meetings had been held as scheduled, a vote of no confidence would have been passed on him. The shift was necessary to allow tempers to calm down.“

Peter Obi NOT a member of Pyrates Confraternity, says aide
Valentine Obienyem, media aide of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says the former governor is not a member of the National Association of Seadogs (NAS), better known as the Pyrates Confraternity.

Obienyem responded to the claims of the membership of the LP presidential candidate in a terse text message on Monday.

“Not at all,” the media aide said after he was asked to respond to trending social media posts suggesting that Obi belongs to the confraternity.

In a now-deleted Facebook post, one Fejiro Oliver, who claimed to be a member of the association, described Obi as a “dedicated Pyrate who has led by the tenets we were baptised with”.
