The immediate past
Governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke has expressed disappointment
over the ‘poor ‘performance of his successor, Senator Ben Ayade in his first
two years in office.
Imoke said that, “When
I was governor, you people said I was a sleeping governor, but I think you
would appreciate a sleeping governor who constructed rural roads across the 18
LGAs than what you have now,” he said in apparent reference to Ayade’s poor
performances.
But the Chief Press
Secretary and Senior Special Adviser to Governor Ben Ayade on Media who was the
Chief Press Secretary to the immediate past Governor, Liyel Imoke, Mr Christian
Ita said on phone on Friday that former Governor, Liyel Imoke never blasted
Governor Ben Ayade.
He maintained that
Senator Liyel Imoke never said that. Speaking in Pidgin English, Ita said that
it was a common thing in Governor Imoke to say people said he was a sleeping
Governor, “he had been saying this before, that people have been complaining
that he was sleeping and he has brought somebody who is active now.”
”He never questioned
the performance of Prof Ben Ayade, he will never, just leave that aside.”
He said people just
play mischief, saying, “if you know Senator Liyel Imoke, you will know he never
said that. Imoke can never say that.
“If it were some other
persons, I would say yes because some people are arrogant but for Imoke, he has
not said such, just leave it at that. We should know individuals,” he stated.
