***A case of kettle calling pot black.... Guess they are pained because he is from the opposition party....If i can remember vividly the person occupying the highest rank in APC and Nigeria has been doing same since inception. Oga Cross River do the right thing if he is saying the truth....It is time our leaders stop traveling round the world and face Nigeria. You guys are political leaders and not TOURIST***
The All Progressives Congress has cautioned the Cross River State
Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, to settle down to work “rather than travelling
around the world.”
The National Vice Chairman of APC, South-South, Mr. Hilliard Eta,
who spoke with our correspondent in Calabar, the state capital, on Monday, said
the governor had not settled down to govern the people since he assumed office
on May 29, 2015.
Eta said, “He (Ayade) has on his own created a state of confusion
and right now, Cross River is in a state of flux. There is motion, but no
movement; so much talk, but no action; so much display of exuberance, but no
real governance.
“In all honesty, I would have wished that Governor Ben Ayade
succeeds as governor of Cross River State because his success, regardless of
party affiliation, will be to the glory of Cross Riverians. His failure will be
our pains as well and this will exacerbate our problems as a state. And so, my
prayer has always been that he succeeds.
“But this junketing from China to Germany will not do us any good.
He should come and rule us because he wanted to be the governor. It is
unfortunate that in Cross River, we have a culture of silence and anybody could
come and hoodwink us and nobody will say anything.”
Reacting to the allegation, the state Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Mr. John Okon, said Eta had not appreciated the reality of
modern governance, which he said entailed movement to get things done.
Okon said, “I do not know why someone like Eta will say that kind
of thing. Maybe they (APC) still believe in the traditional style of
governance. The governor had said when he assumed office that he would do
things out of the ordinary.
“He is travelling to look for investors that will take charge of
the abundant natural resources in the state. He is doing this with the full
support of the party and the state House of Assembly and he should be given a
chance. Our governor is doing well. He pays salaries every 25th day of the
month.”
