Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has claimed that Iyorchia Ayu, the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, worked to ensure the election of Bola Tinubu as president-elect.
Umahi made the claim on Monday at the opening of the renovated Okoro nu Odo Community Secondary School in Rivers State.
He was in Rivers at the invitation of Governor Nyesom Wike for the project’s commissioning.

Umahi thanked the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, for “working for” Tinubu’s election in a seemingly ironic remark.
The remark comes amid an ongoing crisis in the PDP, which has seen Wike and four other PDP governors demand Ayu’s resignation in order for them to support PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar in the run-up to the election.
Their complaint was that the party’s zoning principle resulted in a lack of “fairness, equity, and justice.”
Umahi insisted that Tinubu be aware that Ayu worked for him in order for him to integrate him into the next administration.
“I want to also thank very highly the suspended chairman of PDP,” Umahi said in an apparent jab at Ayu‘s recent sanction by the Benue State chapter of his party for alleged anti-party activities.
“He did very well because he had accepted to resign, it would have been very difficult for the APC. So, he’s our man and I commend him very well.
“And I’m begging Wike – they should lift his suspension, so that he can suspend many more of your leaders.
“We love what he has done, and so we commend him. And I think Asiwaju must know that he worked for him and must also integrate him in the next administration.
