The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has reacted to calls for the National Chairman of the party, Dr Iyorchia Ayu to resign.

Recall that prior to the nomination of Delta Governor as running mate of Atiku Abubakar, members of the party who are loyalists of the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike had demanded Ayu’s resignation.

Speaking on the issue, the presidential candidate, who featured on Arise TV programme, Morning Show on Friday, said the party chairman will automatically step down when he emerge as the next Nigerian president.

He said, “Immediately I win this election, Senator Ayu will automatically step down. We have had issues like this before. It is not the first time PDP is having such crisis”.

He said when the President happens to emerge from the North, the position of chairman will automatically be zoned to South.
