CityNews reports that Wike made the allegation during a media chat with journalists at the State House in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

In a swift response to the Governor’s claims, Ayu said the allegation was untrue, stating that he never collected any money as an individual.

He, however, explained that monies that were received on behalf of the party were duly remitted to the PDP treasury.

Ayu furthered the argument by noting that a Governor of the party donated N100m for the renovation of the PDP’s Democratic Institute, and the money has not even been exhausted as the renovation is ongoing.
