The PDP is expected to unveil its campaign council ahead of September 28, 2022, kick off date of campaign.

This means that Ayu might be away when the party will announce its campaign council and also kickstart the campaign proper for the 2023 general elections.

The PDP has been enmeshed in crisis since the presidential primaries won by Atiku Abubakar and the nomination of the Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate against Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike, favored by some party stakeholders.

Wike and his camp have been at war with Ayu and Atiku, insisting that the National Chairman must resign for a southerner to take charge of the party.
