PDP Elders and Concerned Stake holders in Cross River South Senatorial District have accused the senate leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba and former governor
of Cross River State, Mr. Donald Duke.
In a press conference in Calabar Monday, leader of the group, and
a former member of the House of Representative, Etubom Nya Asuquo said the duo
of Donald Duke and Victor Ndoma-Egba want to drag “Cross River back into the
Stone Age” alleging that the two have always manipulated the political climate
in the state to their favour and want to do it again.
“These people believe it is their birthright to give Cross
Riverians the governor of their choice so as to resume the exploitation of
Cross River State from where they stopped seven years”.
In a press release signed by Etubom (Hon. Dr.) Nya Eyoma Asuqou unbehalf of the group alleged
that because the incumbent governor, Senator Liyel Imoke has put his foot down
and insisted that democracy must be fully participatory… that is why “hell is
being let loose by these people”.
Hon Eyoma Asuquo further alleged that Donald Duke and Ndoma-Egba
have always dictated who rules “They find it unacceptable that the people of
Cross River State should be allowed to choose the candidate and that they must
impose on us a governor of their choice”.
On whether the group has evidence of the alleged imposition, Hon
Asuquo told National Accord that they have adding that “this time around we
will mobilize people from across the senatorial district against any imposition
of candidates”.
“The royal fathers counseled that “those
who live in glass houses should not throw stones”.
