C’ River Assembly Pledges Loyalty To Ayade

The Cross River State
House of Assembly on Wednesday urged the State Executive Governor, Ben Ayade to remain focused as the lawmakers were solidly behind him.
The 25 lawmakers, led by Speaker John Gaul Lebo visited the governor and urged him not to be distracted as they pledged their collective and total loyalty.
Lebo hinted the Governor that this was his turning point, adding that after December 9, Ben Ayade’s new dimension would have to emerge.
According to him,’’ By December 9, you will value the office of the governor because your current trial ahead is a trial of the innocence. I want to assure you that as a House, we are strongly behind you in prayers.”
”You have done so well in Cross River State and in the last few months we passed through a lot with you as a governor. We believe that the clarity of your vision as a leader is not in doubt and it is obvious that you have given us a drive to galvanise our collective intelligence as a community to put together in supporting the political and economic direction of Cross River State”
”It calls for a sense of responsibility on our part to come together to share this moment with you and to pledge our support. We campaigned and contested elections with you and your deputy to serve the state. So anything that happens to your mandate will also affect us.” he said
Other legislators said having consulted their constituents, they had their mandate to assure the governor of their unalloyed support and prayer, while enjoining him to remain focused.
Responding, Ayade said he would not lose focus, saying, “I am completely undistracted and holding on to God as my pillar. As I supplicate for God’s mercy, I ask that God sees my heart and ensures that every single word I have pronounced, He should manifest my word.”
Ayade said “this nation needs a political surgery to put an end to the level of enmity that politics brings and the level of hatred that comes with politics.”
Highpoint of the visit was the signing into law of two bills.
