Gov Otu Intervenes As Cross River Assembly Reaffirms Ayambem As 10th Speaker by Dapromzy333(op): 12:47pm On May 27, 2024
Rt. Hon. Elvert Ayambem has been unanimously reaffirmed as the 10th Assembly of Cross River State.

The reaffirmation of Ayambem came after a reconciliation negotiated by the state governor, Bassey Otu, and key stakeholders with the 25-member Assembly in Calabar on Sunday, according to a statement from the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Matthew Okache.

The speaker was impeached on Wednesday by 17 members out of the 25-member House over allegations of misappropriation of funds.

Majority of the lawmakers had passed a no-confidence vote on him, about 11 months in office.

While responding to the development, Ayambem expressed his appreciation to the governor and the stakeholders, for what he described as their remarkable ability to bring about peace for the stability of the state and the House of Assembly.

The speaker also commended Otu for showing extraordinary leadership during challenging times.

According to Ayambem, “the governor’s track record as a leader who is committed to peace has never been in doubt. This has continued to shine through from his time as senator to his current position as governor. I want to sincerely thank you for your genuine interest in and commitment to the peace and unity of Cross River State.

“Specifically, I want to thank all relevant stakeholders and particularly my colleagues for your continuous support. I want to pledge my cooperation and commitment to foster a harmonious working environment with you, one that would contribute to the growth and progress of both the House of Assembly and Cross River State.”

The speaker emphasised the shared responsibility to collaborate for the advancement of the state, highlighting the importance of unity and cooperation among the members, to make laws that will serve the common good of all Cross Riverians. He pledged to lead with integrity, decency, and a focus on the welfare of all.

Ayambem who represents Ikom 2 State Constituency in the Houses of Assembly, was elected Speaker of the 10th Cross River State House of Assembly in June 2023.

Good for their selfish interest

Btw; Otu no dey hear wetin other governors dey do?
I have been Observing the leadership situation in Cross River state since 1999. It keeps declining.
Donald Duke was better than Imoke, Imoke was better than Ayade, Ayade who was like the devils ambassador is still better than Otu.

Talk talk talk... With nothing to show.

Intervene keh.. you think in Nigeria of Today that anything would happen in any State Assembly that the Governor is not the mastermind..?!.! These guys are like emperors in their various domains, they pocket the Local Governments, State Judiciary and Houses of Assembly..

The template is already set at the NGF... all you just have to do as a new Governor is to take the irrespónsible template and copy and paste it in your state interms of governance, Local elections and mismanagement of public funds..

We play very irrespónsible poiltics in this part of the world..🤔🤔

Those who rose up against this speaker without the backing of the governor are really not smart.
Speaker needs to reshuffle committees immediately, and remain close to the governor.
In Nigeria because of the absence of separation of powers, the governors call the shots in the Legislative arm.
