BREAKING: I never said Wike is not his children’s father – PDP chair Ayu has said.

News ToGo learned that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu has denied denigrating Governor Nyesom Wike.

In a statement on Saturday, the former Senate President distanced himself from social media posts which quoted him as demeaning the Rivers helmsman.

Ayu, who posted some of the screenshots on his Twitter account, described the comments as “mischievous and senseless”.

“One post, from one Lawal Garba, purporting to be from me states that I said I cannot talk to a man who “cannot father a child!”

“Another post, with a photograph of Wike and a lady with some children claims that the governor is not “the biological father of his three kids.”

Ayu said nothing can be more diabolical and amateurish, adding that descending low is neither in his character nor nature.

The opposition leader noted that those planting the stories against the PDP and him were showing their lack of intelligence.

“I state, categorically and without equivocation, that the posts are completely false. Even the inelegant construction of the posts puts them beneath my personality.

“I never said anything after Wike’s statements the other day and do not intend to say anything in response”, the statement added.

Ayu and Wike recently exchanged words over the latter’s continued opposition to the emergence of former vice president Atiku Abubakar as the PDP 2023 flagbearer.

Wike is accused of attempting to work with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general elections and dragging the PDP to court via proxies. The governor denies the claims.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
