ok

Instead to be preparing ground for his presidential ambition, he is now fighting how he would not drown empty handed.

What an irony!

juman:
Mere noise making.
He is not the first governor to deflect to another party.

Defect. In case of next time.

What I know and believe is, many of our politicians don't know anything about constitution.

He is going

donjahsy:
Defect. In case of next time.

Thank you.

LETS DO TO THEM THEY WAY IT IS DONE IN RIVER STATE.

This will stop the madness of ridding on a platform of a particular party to win an election and defecting to a party they may never have won an election, AYAD, THAT ZAMFARA MAN,UMAHI are ...

I see justice taiwo taiwo taking a different turn from iyang ekwo in this regard.

Which Presidential ambition? Lol, I laugh in swahili. If he defected because he was promised Presidential ticket in APC then he's a fool.

Even in the street cross-carpeting is not allowed

kcmichael:
many political neophyte , ayade is already applying for a stay of execution and appeal at same time by friday. Ayade till 2023 , we must gang rape pdp till the die

And who told you that the appeals (Both Appeal and Supreme Court) won't be given an accelerated hearing since his tenure is time bound?

This might not make sense, a governor is voted by the people though on a parties platform, if the party isnt allowing him do the will of the people again nko?

juman:

Yea...I agree with u man!

Umahi also defected and he's now ex governor

Nonpartisan1:
All these yeye judgements PDP is buying in the High courts will be thrown to the dustbin by the Appeal Courts.

As e dey pain dem... E dey sweet us (In Wike's voice)

Same Justice Taiwo that sacked 20 law makers In Cross River State?

We already know the verdict!!

The judge, who granted all the reliefs sought by the PDP, held that it was disheartening that politicians in the country treat citizens as if they do not matter once they get into office.“A day must surely come when elected officials, must either resign from their office or ask the people who voted for them before defecting to other political parties, instead of defecting to another party without recourse to the law and the citizens, ” he said. This country must work again

donjahsy:
Defect. In case of next time.

No be only deflect, na reflection.

RenaissanceGuy:
As much as I'd have liked that elected politicians that defect to other parties,are sacked,it's noteworthy that the constititution says it's only lawmakers who are barred from defecting,unless their party have problems.

The supreme court has variously said that the votes belong to the political parties and not the candidates, therefore, you cannot take the votes that belong to party 'A' and give party 'B'. In the same vein, can a woman that divorced a man take his child(dred) and give the new husband she just married? Any decision taken by the supreme court becomes part of our laws.

Saviourk:
Sack letter loading

And he won't be last to be sacked. Something had to be done about the reckless defections.

Maxymilliano:
Ben Ayade already known his fate. What happened to the House of Assembly defectors will happen to him.

The votes belong to political parties not individuals.

That's what many had failed to understand, but PDP were too slow to sue him, atleast 3months after defecting,

Thanks to the judiciary, a new procedure is here to step, you can't come win with party A, then defect to Party B, it will make them think twice

Nonpartisan1:


Some of you dont even know anything about politics. No be only gone na gun!

Ayade and Umahi will finish their tenures.

But the distractions will be enough to nagatively affect their future political endavours.cant you see that umahi presidential ambition is already in the mud,and his chances of sustaining Ebonyi as APC state is very unsure,as for Ayade i dont think he can withstand the legal fireworks that will follow his imminent sack by friday,he can only appeal, buy more time while his administration last.

Mhykel217:
Which fate again. As e play for ebonyi so shall it be in cross river and zamfara hopefully

what plays in ebonyi

Is This How Governor Ayade Will Leave Us?


In 447 days time from now, Governor Ayade will share the grace from office. He will stop being our governor. In case you don't understand; he will hand over to a new governor and become former governor. But the actual grace sharing begins after the primaries of the political parties which must hold and be completed within the next five months. Even before and after then, politicking takes over everything. Governance grinds to a total halt.


But I have been thinking and picking my teeth and wondering that, like play, like play, is this how Governor Ayade will just leave us?


1. Without a superhighway, an evacuation corridor where we will drive from Calabar to Obudu with a glass of water on the trunk of the car and the glass will not shake?

2. Without turning Bakassi to Lugano?

3. Without resettling the Bakassi IDPs?

4. Without, a deep sea port in Bakassi?

5. Without Ikom Chocolates in the stores?

6. Without poles, piles and pylons in even Bedwell market in Calabar?

7. Without even a face towel from garment factory in any shop on Marian road in Calabar?

8. Without a rice city churning out highly improved "Calas 77" seeds to the rest of Nigeria to generate N70billion annually for Cross River and decouple the State from federal allocation?

15. With a chicken processing factory that functions only during the Yuletide?

16. Without a cotton farm in Yala to feed the garment factory?

17. With brown roofs in Calabar without changing every roof to blue roof?

18. Without a spaghetti fly over?

19. With a depleted green forest and murderous wood barons?

20. Without a bag of Ogoja rice in the market from a bubbling rice mill in Ogoja?

21. With a nearly decapitated civil service?

22. With children been driven away from primary schools for illegal levies?

26. Without a vessel to ship merchandize from Cross River to the world?

27. Without a revolutionary robotic and artificial intelligence innovation?

28. Without flying essential drugs to remote areas in Cross River with drones?

29. Without a functional 23 megawatts electricity generating plant in Calabar or 26 megawatts in Tinapa?

30. Without building two megawatts electricity generating plants in each of the 18 Local Government Areas of the State, through Industrial Project Services (IPS) from South Africa?

31. Without a single drug manufactured from CalaPharm?

32. Without a functional toothpick factory in Ekori?

33. Without a functional Cross River microfinance bank?

34. Without a banana processing farm in Odukpani?

35. Without the anti-tax committee ending taxation of people earning 50k and below?

36. Without stopping indigenes from paying fees in UNICROSS as he promised?

37. Without the monorail which he opened himself in Calabar?

38. Without Ayade food banks anywhere in the State?

40. With just food on the table for a few?

41. Without delivering the Ugep polytechnic?

42. Without delivering the Ogoja Polytechnic?

43. Without take-off of Teachers Institute in Biase LGA?

44. Without take-off of Canadian School in Obudu?

45. Without a solar panel manufacturing factory, opposite Brigadier Ally cantonment?

46. Without a Cambodian King grass plantation that grows with lush, to solve the farmers/herders crises in Nigeria and raise revenue for our State?

47. Without a social housing estate for the Aborigines of Obudu ranch?

48. Without fixing the State Library?

49. Without the Mopol barracks in Okworotung Obudu?

50. Without turning around the moribund Obudu Cattle Ranch?

These were just some of our governor's promises amongst others. Once the cameras roll in front of him, the promises begin to cascade like the springs of Obudu Ranch. He promised a bag full and has achieved little. Scattered all over our State today are monuments of infantile passion about industrialization without direction, that will serve as mementos of the trappings of a governor who knew how to talk but could not do.

Governor Ayade remains a shining and fantastic example of how passion alone and ideas do not translate to delivery. He is an epitome of a plan-less leader and a reflection of what a disaster plan-lessness and impulse leadership can wreck.

If you rely on optics and oratory, Ayade will win Nigeria's best governor any day. But the reality on the ground is not far from me. It is within my grasp, because I am involved.

Yours sincerely,
Citizen Agba Jalingo.
