The Cross River State Governor,
Ben Ayade has reacted to reports that a Lagos Court of Appeal has sacked him as
the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the
Saturday’s election.
Ayade described the reports as
fake because there was no such pending matter before the Appeal Court.
In a statement signed by his
Chief Press Secretary, Christian Ita, on Wednesday, the Governor maintained
that the “case instituted in a Federal High Court in Abuja by Mr Emmanuel
Ibeshi was discontinued when he filed a legitimate notice of discontinuance and
as such never went on appeal.”
Ayade received the report as the
“handiwork of political opponents who have been dazed by the reality that his
bid was a fait acompli.”
He, however, urged members of the
public and his teeming supporters to disregard what he termed as fake report.
