VON D-G, Okechukwu, blasts Ayu for accusing APC of fueling PDP crisis  

A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC),  Osita Okechukwu, Director-General of Voice of Nigeria (VON),  on Sunday in Abuja blasted the National Chaiman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, for accusing the APC of sponsoring mischievous posts against him, saying that the PDP has boxed itself into irretrievable tight corner.

Okechukwu said that instead of sitting down to resolve the various challenges confronting their party, the PDP leaders are busy passing the buck and blaming the ruling APC.

the Special Adviser on Media and Communications to Iyorchiya Ayu, Simon Imobo’Tswam,  had cited posts purportedly credited to APC insinuating that he said that he cannot take on a man that cannot father a child and other unprintable innuendos.

Okechukwu dismissed the insinuation that APC was fuelling the PDP crisis, urging Ayu to desist form buck-passing and blame game, saying that doing so amounts to transfer of misplaced aggression.

Okechukwu had said: “Methinks that Dr Ayu, being a social scientist, is experienced enough to know that once covenant of national integration is breached, it unleashes antithesis of unimaginable proportion naturally on the culprits.

“The PDP national chairman should leave APC out of the confusion he plunged his party into when he deliberately betrayed the South and Governor Nyesom Wike by extension. Blame game and transfer of aggression are not the answer to Ayu’s Odd Consensus.”

the VON D.G. maintained: “Ayu’s Odd Consensus was the willing unpatriotic breach of the subsisting rotation of power from North to South convention by Ayu and his presidential candidate, Atiku Abubukar.

“Secondly, the duo has reached the odd consensus that Atiku is not likely to win the 2023 presidential election. “This is why they rejected the minor palliative of placating Governor Nyesom Wike and others that were hurt by the breach. Otherwise, if they are sure of victory, Ayu could have willingly stepped down long ago, and wait for more juicy slots in a post-2023 presidential election victory like SGF. Hence, close the huge failure fracture starring them in the face consequent upon the betrayal of the South.”

Okechukwu said that Ayu’s Odd Consensus that there was no need bargaining away the lofty chairmanship of the PDP with N14 billion heist, when he is not sure of victory is Ayu’s pragmatic guardrail.

“Thirdly, Ayu and his co-travelers odd consensus heavy reliance to raise votes via fault lines is being blocked by patriots like PDP’s Children, APC’s Northern Governors Forum, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and host of others who reason that it is not fair and just for North to hand over to North.”

The VON DG further said that analysis by pundits suggested that PDP’s Children, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso of NNPP and Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP) were achilles heel whittling down the expected support base of Atiku, especially, the sophisticated far Northern electorate whom he never represented and the Southern electorate, who yearn for power shift, the traditional stronghold of the PDP since 1999.”
