The Governor of Cross River State, Ben Ayade, says that he
will, next week, name 300 political appointees to assist his
government in carrying out its activities.
Ayade said that the soon-to-be appointed officials would
be added to his over 800 political aides assisting him in
running his government.

He said that the measure was aimed at providing job for the
unemployed and reduction of redundancy in the state.
The governor stated this yesterday while speaking in his
office in Calabar.

He promised workers regular payment of salaries, saying: “I
will rather spend my first four years paying salaries than
playing politics with peoples’ welfare.
“The army of appointees is deliberate. I know that
governance should be about helping people. This, I will
honestly do as governor of this state.”
