Commenting on Akwaji’s death, Ifere Paul, a Facebook user
wrote: “I spoke to Hon. Godwin Akwaji weeks before the LGA elections. He told
me what a wonderful chairman I’ll make. He ended our conversation on a sad note
though.
“That the establishment does not want intelligent people
like me, and was afraid I might not make it because I am not somebody’s stooge.
I just got information from Agba Jalingo that Hon. Akwaji is late now. He was
such a nice guy. May his soul find rest.”
Cross River is the only state where any case of COVID-19 has
not been confirmed in the country.
