Fani-Kayode’s allegations
Fani-Kayode alleged that, “Senator Dino Melaye, the spokesman of the Atiku Abubakar PCO, said, All the PDP Governors spent money to get Senator Iyorchia Ayu elected as National Chairman.
“This is a grave and serious matter. It is a public confession of a criminal offence made by a senior figure within the PDP cabal that committed the said offence.
“It follows that Ayu’s election was a product of corruption and criminality and so was Waziri Atiku Abubakar’s as their party’s presidential flagbearer at a later convention which was conducted by him.”
The All Progressives Congress, APC chieftain, having said this, then, called on security operatives to arrest Melaye in order to probe his revelation. He also called on INEC to nullify Ayu’s election as PDP’s helmsman.
“I hereby call on the Federal Government and the security agencies to invite Senator Dino Melaye to shed more light on how much each of the PDP Governors gave for Ayu’s “election.”
“And I call on them to arrest and prosecute Iyorcha Ayu and the entire NWC of the PDP for being accomplices to a criminal act, beneficiaries of the crime of corruption and accessories after the fact.
“I also call on INEC to nullify Ayu’s so-called election as National Chairman and to do same to that of Abubakar Atiku’s who was purportedly elected as the party’s flagbearer,” Fani-Kayode said.
