CUPP in a statement by its spokesman, Ikenga Ugochinyere, accused Ayu of escalating the crisis rocking the opposition party, lamenting that his continued stay in office was creating more disunity and if care is not taken, it might sink the party.
Ugochinyere noted speculations that members of the G-5 governors might agree to work for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and that of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, saying that this can be put to an end if Ayu resigns.
He, therefore, advised the party’s national chairman to endeavour to tender his resignation on or before January 5, 2023.
