The supporters made these demands ahead of the meeting of a six-man committee comprising representatives from the camps of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and Wike.

A former member of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) said Atiku ensuring that Ayu is removed would show that he keeps to the agreement of inclusiveness.

He further stated that the PDP National Chairman has betrayed the confidence of Governor Wike.

He called on the party to present Wike’s camp the slot of Ayu’s successor because of what they would be bringing onboard ahead of the 2023 race.

The source said, “By ensuring the removal of Ayu, Atiku can be said to have shown that he can keep to the agreement of inclusiveness, trust and avoid any victimisation of the supporters of the Rivers State governor.

“Dr Iyorchia Ayu has betrayed the confidence of the Rivers State governor, Wike.

“Nigerians know that Wike would have won the ticket, but for treachery. He lost the presidential ticket and the chances of becoming the running mate to the presidential candidate due to treachery.
