Why I joined APC- Ayade

Cross River State Governor, Sir Ben Ayade Thursday dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He formally declared for the ruling party at the Cross River State Executive Council Chamber, Governor’s Office in Calabar after a two-hour meeting with seven APC governors led by the party’s interim chairman and governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni.
Speaking on why he was joining the APC, Ayade highlighted the character attributes of President Muhammadu Buhari and the realisation that Cross River, which has been emasculated economically following the ceding of its oil wells, needed to be in sync with the party at the center, as the main reasons for moving.

According to the governor, “having seen and known the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and his commitment to this country, his nationalistic disposition and all the efforts he has made to bring Nigeria to where we are today, it is obvious that at this point we needed to join hands with him to build a Nigeria that we can be proud of .

“We need all governors to recognize that it is not party that matters. It is character, it is honor, it is commitment to the vision of this great nation. We all need to as a team work ahead of the president by working towards building a prosperous country that the succession worries of 2023 will come without the fears and the worries the international community has for us.

“I believe that if everyone of us as governor joins hands with Mr President, I think we can sit on the same dining table and fashion out a way to govern this country.”

Speaking on the development, an elated Buni said he and his team were in the state to formally welcome Governor Ayade to the APC.

His words: “I am here on behalf of the APC family to welcome His Excellency the Executive Governor of Cross River State formally to the APC. As from today he is the leader of the party in the state.”

Other APC governors who witnessed the event were Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, Solomon Lalong of Plateau State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and his Jigawa state counterpart, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar.

Also present was the Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva.

Others at the meeting were the state deputy governor, Prof Ivara Esu, Speaker of the state house of assembly, Rt. Hon. Eteng Williams Jones and members of the state house of assembly, some National Assembly members, members of the Cross River State Executive Council members, local Government chairmen, councilors and some stakeholders, including Dame Princess Florence Ita-Giwa and High Chief Asuquo Ekpenyong amongst others.

Keep your explanations to yourself. We don't need it. Some people went to high institutions and even attained the highest level of academic qualifications, but the same people still make foolish decisions that primary pupils can not make. Why?

As if he was a credible opposition before. Time is a revealer. All that's covered shall soon be exposed.

You joined APC because PDP hand the party structure to imoke instead of you because u are a paper weight politician ...relax enjoy your remaining few years

Nothing to worry about. Before the last "Edo no be Lagos" elections, some people defected from PDP to APC thinking Oshiomhole and Buhari will perform magic. Where are they today?

I wonder how a sane Nigerian will decide to pitch his tent with APC considering what is happening in the country today.

Wow Ayade finally joined the really party... 2023 go sweet..

Awa Eyan BAT

Another dumb professor on the lane


Time shall tell

Yinmu

APGA , Obiano and Charles Soludo would find a way to decamp after 2023

Obiano, Ikpeazu, and Ayade are no card careering members

.

NOW, he'll become an enemy and distasteful to all Ipob Terrorists because of this move.


They're already lamenting because he joined Islamic Party


Funny enough, South East in general will soon be Islamize through Islamic Party (APC) because all their Governor will sing thesame song.


All Ipob miscreants will then answer Islamic name or we Forced them outta South East to Israel or their fugitive leader Nnamdi Kanu seek asylum for them in Ambasadonial Republic

Goodluck,

Chai.. Ayade is mean

See The useless supreme Court Gov

Everyone deserves to abandon evil and embrace Good....." Ben Ayade


"PDP manipulated Social media with all sorts of lies and falsehood. It is too unpatriotic. I have no other nation apart from Nigeria...."

Ben Ayade

The whole truth and nothing but the truth

Choi, Abiama, why hath thou forsaken us?

From the way things are going, b4 the year runs out, na only us go remain for pdp.

I would love to hear what Kola Olabodiyan has got to say about this.

The man is always denying every defection till it happens,;..

then he will come and say it is inconsequential to the party.

Everybody just watch AIT or Channels tonight and see if I lie.

Keep deceiving your gullible supporters.

Omo, see reason o.... You mean Bubu is working? Like taking Nigeria to higher level and making it a better place? Fulani being deadly, kidnapping, banditry, killings everywhere, insecurity, inflation etc?

The reason why you joined APC is personal, stop confusing the public. The problem of Southeast are The Southeast Governors. End of discussion

Mumu man..no one cares who or what you join..our politicians are all incompetent thieving fools..no integrity..Nada

Who know Ayade for cross River

Nothing on ground ... maybe fear of EFCC follow
Apart from fact say pdp cross river no send a.m.

Even the Apc for the state no get party chairman

Was the name of Apc party chairman .. for cross river .. he no even follow welcome Ayade ..
‘‘Tis one Na journey no be decamp

M

Sellout

Pdp = apc
Apc = pdp.

For those of you killing yourself over apc and pdp . I hope you are seeing that these politicians will only be where it favors them and not where favors you. They dont have your interest at heart.

If you are to vote, vote the person and not the godamn party. I just cant wait for an underdog to win Nigeria's presidential election

See dis one again

I never see PDP as opposition. Thier media is too poor, don't even care... It's as if they are working with APC self
