Iyorchia Ayu Is Still PDP (North) Chairman – Aide

Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy to the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Simon Imobo-Tswam has come out to say that Iyorchia Ayu has not been suspended by the party.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he would have naturally decided to not dignify the falsehood with a response, but an official reaction that disputes it was necessary to cut the spread of misinformation.

He added that Dr Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP National Chairman remains the PDP National Chairman.

His words, “Even though we do not wish to dignify falsehood with a response, an official reaction is necessary in order to stem the tide of misinformation.”

“Dr Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP National Chairman remains the PDP National Chairman.”

“Dr Ayu took a well-deserved, two-week leave on 21st June 2022. He will be back next week to resume duties, specifically on July 6, 2022.”

“A stickler for due process, Dr Ayu formally handed over to the Deputy National Chairman (North), Amb. Umar Damagun, and the Deputy National Chairman has held forth admirably since that day.”

“It was in that acting capacity that he (Damagun) today, presided over the inauguration of the Osun State Gubernatorial Campaign Council, headed by the Executive Governor of Bayelsa State, H.E. Douye Diri.”

“If not that the authors of the mischievous and baseless Facebook posts were out to serve nefarious interests, they would have heard when the acting national chairman, Amb. Damagun, said during the ceremony today: “On behalf of my able National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, I hereby inaugurate you.”

“The general public is, therefore, advised to ignore the mischievous social media publications as they are purely the work of mischief makers and idle minds.”
