Some leaders of the party had called for the resignation of the national chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
Atiku while reacting to the request made by Makinde that Ayu should resign, insisted that the resignation of Ayu is achievable if the party’s constitution is amended.
He said;
Only if the PDP constitution is amended.
The calls for the resignation of the national chairman or any national officer can only be achieved through the party’s constitution.
The party’s constitution can only be amended. It is possible.
When I was the Vice President, we took over South West except for Lagos State. I don’t want us to lose focus, the focus is how to win the 2023 elections. I know that we are capable, we can do that.
