Prof Ben Ayade, the Governor of
Cross River state, has declared that his deputy will run the state as Acting
Governor throughout his second term.
He said he will be at the
sidelines playing the role of ‘Project Manager’ as he will relocate out of
Calabar, the state capital.
According to him, Cross River
will become an industrialized state under his watch.
Ayade stated this while
delivering his inaugural address after he was sworn in on Wednesday for the
second time as governor by the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Michael Edem
at the U.J Esuene stadium.
His words : “Be committed and
steadfast Cross River state will be an industrialised state under my watch. In
this my second tenure, I will no longer be the governor. My Deputy will be the
acting governor while I will become the project manager of Cross River state as
I will relocate to Ikom LGA.
“This tenure will be food on the
table ,hands on the plough, no amount of investment in infrastructure will be
equivalent to taking care of the well being of the people ,paying salaries and
employing them.
“We must understand that anytime
our problems can only be solved by money then our intellect has failed us,”
Ayade stated.
