Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has accused the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, and the National Working Committee (NWC) of squandering N12.5 billion party funds in two months.

Wike raised the allegation on Wednesday at the inauguration of internal roads in Rumuigbo, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of the state.

The governor stressed that PDP would regain its force of dominance with the new leadership.
