Stop Dragging Us Into Politics, Cross River Monarchs Tell PDP

The Obudu Traditional Rulers Council has lashed out at the Peoples Democratic Party in Cross River State, saying the party as a den of liars.

The monarchs described as blatant lies, reports that they cried out of neglect by Governor Ben Ayade during their consultative meetings with the party’s candidates.

The paramount ruler of the council, HRH Uti Jeddy Agba, who was represented by Chief Cornelius Olem said, “It was mischief for any sane person or organisation to insinuate that “our son is neglecting or has neglected Obudu, his own local government.

“We cannot understand why a party would decide to tread the path of divisiveness and refuse to acknowledge the good things our son, Professor Ben Ayade has done for Obudu.

“It is pure mischief to deliberately turn a blind eye to the transformation Ayade has brought to Obudu. It is a blatant lie to say that Ayade neglected Obudu.”

The royal father who is the longest reigning monarch in Nigeria noted that “the lists of projects Ayade has attracted to Obudu are endless.

He listed them to include the Obudu international cargo and passenger Airport, the British-Canadian university, the Obudu-German specialist hospital, the dualized Obudu-Ranch- Bekwara- Mfom- Okuku- Okpoma highway, the Agricultural Machinery Equipment Institute( AMEDI) among others. How can anyone see all these and still claim Ayade neglected Obudu?”

Expressing gratitude to Ayade for the transformation Obudu has received, the Obudu paramount ruler said, “the projects are endless and we thank you for citing them in Obudu”.
