The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Uche Secondus, Gov Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki have said they were in Calabar to formally give a quit notice to Gov Ben Ayade of Cross River State.
Secondus said they were also in the state to formally commission the new state party secretariat even as he also inaugurated the caretaker committee headed by former deputy governor of the state, Efiok Cobham.
The national chairman said the PDP is much intact and will certainly recover the state from APC, even as he said they were expecting more APC governors to return to them.
Secondus who welcomed former governor, Donald Duke, back to the party assured Cross Riverians that the state would come back to what it used to be.
On his part, Duke said he was back to his home.
“I am back, I am back to my home, I did not go too far. No matter what the differences are that you have in a family when your house is leaking you must come back to find a solution and fix it, Duke said.
Some of the House of Assembly members who spoke including Hon Nelson Ofem, Yakurr II, Friday Okpeche Obubra, and Fred Osim, Ikom I, described what has existed in Cross River for six years as a fraud.
“What we have had I we the last six years is a fraud and a scam, but we are bold enough to say no more to the fraud which has been on.
“We have projects but none of them are real, the state has been destroyed, we have projects but they are all scams, we made a big mistake in governor Ayade and we refuse to accept it anymore,” they said.
Sokoto state Governor and Chairman PDP Governors’ Forum, Alhaji Aminu Waziri Tambuwal said when they return to national power, they shall restructure the country.
