PATRICK ABANG, Calabar –
Barely few days to the Cross River State byelections in Ogoja Yala Federal Constituency and Akpabuyo State Constituency, the State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Alphonsus Ogar has declared the River State Governor, Nyesom Wike as a security risk to the state.
Mr. Eba appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to warned the River State Governor from meddling into Cross River State’s politics.
According to APC Chairman, Wike has no business being in Calabar because the byelection is not in the state capital but in Ogoja/Yala and Akpabuyo State Constituencies.
He noted that the outspoken governor has been stepping on the toes of the Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade who do not want confrontation with his colleagues.
‘We do not want confrontation with any state governor,we are a peace loving state but that should not be taken for granted”, Eba warned’.
He recalled the role played by the Rivers State governor in the Northern Senatorial District Appeal Court’s judgement that produced Senator Gerigbe Agom which is still fresh and called on the Apex Court to review the matter.
“This briefing has become imperative because when we started, I promised that we are going to embarked on political evangelism, and we have kept that promised but event at the recent past, activities of the last few days by one man who has been meddlesome interloper in Cross River politics Nwesom Wike, we will no longer allow him to cross our boundary”
The APC Chairman warned the River State governor that Cross River State is not Obiakpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, where he can manipulate his way through.
“I want to say enough is enough, can you imagine a governor behaving like an emperor even when police advised that the rally be postponed , he went ahead to hold the rally in Calabar the State capital”, he said.
