C’River elders insist on zoning, back Ayade’s re-election bid
CALABAR—POLITICAL
leaders of the seven local government areas of the Central senatorial
district of Cross River State have insisted on retaining the existing
zoning arrangement in the state
and have, therefore, thrown their weight behind the re-election of Governor Ben Ayade in Saturday’s governorship election. Chief Asuquo Ekpenyong, leader of the 7-Alive Southern Senatorial Forum,
said the district was billed to produce the next governor of the state in 2023 after Ayade and therefore, their support was to enable the governor complete his eight years tenure and hand over to the district.
Gov. Ben Ayade
His words: “We have supported this govern-ment from the start and we cannot abandon it now.
With the Southern district set to produce the next governor in 2023, we have to do our best to make the transition hitch free.” Ekpenyong called on the leaders in the district to mobilise voters to vote en masse for Ayade and other contestants without fear as Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, would win without much struggle.
“There is no fear of federal might because we are in charge and nobody can intimidate us. “It is when you do not have support that federal might can work. But we have massive support and so we fear nobody.”
