DRAMA AS AYADE’S THUG WEEPS AT STAKEHOLDERS MEETING

 

By Joseph ETTA in Calabar

It was  high drama when one of the foot soldier and thugs of Cross Rivers governor Ben Ayade, in the last election, Ekpang Ogar, wept publicly, before the governor at a stakeholders meeting in the state.

Oga was lamenting  the  total neglect by Ben Ayade, whom he claimed to have helped to have won overwhelming in six wards in Ogoja Local Government area during the last Governorship Election.

Ogar, narrated how his wife who was pregnant, had a  still birth because of the rigors and pressure they went through to deliver his wards to the governor during the Election.

He accused the Governor of total  insensitivity and indifferent towards his and others plight after winning the election.

The Governor who was visiting the Council Area since he won reelection for the first time for a stakeholders meeting,  however assured him that help was on the way

“please don’t weep again, I did not know, now that I know, I will do something about it” he said.

Ogar who was the first Electoral Chairman of the Ogoja area council also lamented over the collapsed of the Bridge linking his village to Ogoja town which has become unmotorable.

“The people are suffering, they are in total hardship as they cannot bring their farm products to the market”

He noted that the only road linking Yale to Ogoja and Obudu  was very deplorable,

“the road is so bad that it has become a death trap. Every week people die on the road, yet the people of Yale and Ogoja gave the Governor the highest vote. The people voted massively for Ben Ayade”. He noted.

Meanwhile, the stakeholders meeting which was supposed to run throughout the month of October was suspended indefinitely on Wednesday, because the Governor, the convener of the meeting was as usual out of town when the meeting reconvened. It would have been  the turn of the central district which include Boki, Ikom, Etung, Obubra, Abi and Yakurr.
