A truck load with 400 10kg bags of rice was yesterday Sunday January 4th, 2015 delivered at Mega Hilton hotel in obudu local government of Cross River State.

According to #crossriverwatch, the bags of rice were part of contribution from a business man based in Abuja Mr Arikpo Ettah Jnr. to the 2015 governorship campaign of the People Democratic Party (PDP) flag beare Senator Ben Ayade.

Mr. Etta, a Cross Riverian from Yakurr LGA told CrossRiverWatch in Abuja that he is fascinated by the emergence of Ayade as the PDP flag bearer and will make his own personal contribution even beyond the bags of rice to ensure that Ayade becomes governor in 2015. Also said "his confidence in the PDP flag bearer was not just because age was still on his side but also because he has always seen Ayade as someone with modern and progressive ideas and a people centered philosophy."

“Ayade is still young. He has modern ideas and from some of the programs he has done in the northern part of the state, it is clear that he thinks about the poor. I am confident that he has sufficient education, experience and the capacity to drive development in our state. I am not making this donation in anticipation of profit, I am doing this as a Cross Riverian who wants to support change and the aspiration of our people for a better Cross River under the leadership of a competent manager who we have found in Ayade.”


He congratulated all those who contested the ticket with Ayade, particularly Prince Jedy Agba for having the courage to step down for the Senator. #voiceofcalabar
