Strong information reaching our newwsdesk suggest Cross River governor Sen. Ben Ayade has heightened plans to defect to the All Progressive Congress.

Hon.Edi who declared for the APC during the APC Ogoja chapter celebration of the Bakor New Yam Festival in the Ishibori playground cited poor and visionless leadership as provided by Gov. Ben Ayade as the reason why he dumped the umbrella he has held for 16 years for the broom, which he accepts is a veritable instrument that will sweep Ayade and his poor leadership out of power in 2019.

The Ukpagada community had been cutoff from the rest of society for more than  52 years as the only bridge linking them to town was destroyed destroying during the Civil War and as such were unable to convey their farm produce to the market and earn revenue for themselves.

By -

There are indications that all is not well in Cross River State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over claims by the state’s National Assembly Caucus of highhandedness and non-inclusive congresses by Governor Ben Ayade. The lawmakers from the state in a letter to the National Chairman of the PDP dated October 12, 2017 warned that unless something urgently is done to remedy the situation, the party stands a poor chance in the 2019 elections. The letter signed by nine legislators led by Senator Rose Oko (Cross River North) accused the governor of hijacking the state congresses to the exclusion of stakeholders. “We bring to your attention the state of the structure of the PDP in Cross River State.

  Yesterday, the social media, especially among Cross Riverians, was agog with discussions concerning the removal of the member representing Yakurr 1 constituency in the Cross River State House of Assembly, Hon. Cyril Omini, popularly known as CY, as Chairman of the Finance committee in the CRSHA over misconduct. Hon. Omini has been a dominant force since he was elected a House of Assembly member. He was seen to be very rich and benevolent to his constituents and even his colleagues, and this brought him so much influence and power.  He is also allegedly very close to the first family of the state, which had further enhanced his influence and power, and last year, he single-handedly master minded the impeachment of the Speaker, Hon. Elvert Ayambem, and it took the intervention of the governor for the speaker to retain his seat. His removal as the Chairman of the Finance Committee came as a rude shock to onlookers and political pundits across the state because, before this time...

Former Cross River Governor, Senator Liyel Imoke has chided his incumbent, Senator Ben Ayade over his (non) performance. Imoke told an audience of teeming youths during the 7th edition of ‘The Bridge Leadership Foundation’ that people use to describe him as “The sleeping Governor,” when he was in office but that he constructed rural roads which was a major achievement in his administration that lasted from 2007 to 2015; though truncated twice by court judgments where he was sacked. “When I was governor you people said I was a sleeping governor, but I think you would appreciate a sleeping governor who constructed rural roads across the 18 LGAs than what you have now,” Imoke said in apparent reference to Mr. Ayade’s poor performance in road construction. Having completed 2 years in office on May 29, 2017 a poll conducted by CrossRiverWatch showed that Mr. Ayade had performed poorly with 57 percent of the voters saying he has done very badly.
