Fight In Cross Rivers State APC As Ekpenyong And Governor Ayade Mussle Over Delegate List

Prof. Ayade, Cross Rivers State Governor

APC Chapter in Cross-Rivers State is in Trouble as Stakeholder mussels the Governor.

Governor Ayade and some members of the party are in serious fight after the Governor attempted to submit delegate list against the wish of the stakeholders

The APC stakeholders and the authentic national delegates elected on the 17th May 2022 also asked the national chairman Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led NWC to follow its constitution and guidelines as it relates to the National delegate lists submitted to the party.

According to Legit.com, The National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has been asked to ignore a purported 'fraudulent' list of the national delegates sent by the Cross Rivers State Working Committee to the national leadership.

In a statement signed by Chief Francis Ekpenyong, on behalf of Cross Rivers Authentic Adhoc National Delegates, made available to newsmen Wednesday in Abuja, said they were the original people who paid for nomination forms, participated in the process and emerged as National delegates of their respective Local Government Areas of the state.

"The attention of members and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Cross River State Chapter has been drawn to the fraudulent, meddlesome interference and day-light theft of the mandate of members of the party in the state who were elected National delegates in the just concluded National delegates election of 17th May 2022.

"As members and stakeholders, we are very concern and write to state that the party should follow its Constitution and guidelines as it relates to the National delegate lists submitted to the party. That the only valid and recognized list of elected National delegates is that of the one conducted on the 17 day of May 2022, which does not include the names of the State Working Committee Members of the party.
