Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State has said he does not
have the willpower to sack any of his aides, civil servants or personal staff
who commits any offences.
Ayade said he is always moved with emotion and fear of what
will happen to them if he sacks them over poor attitude or refusal to carry out
any assigned tasks or his orders.
The governor addressed journalists in his office over the
ongoing calls by APC stalwarts for the sack of workers in his government who
are still loyal to opposition PDP.
“I do not have the hearts to lay off my workers or
government staff. Sometimes I will have reports about those that have committed
very serious offences.
“I have even personally caught some red-handed doing the
very wrong things.
“I will ponder over what they, especially their wives,
children and dependants would go through if I sacked them. These thoughts would
force me to overlook and forgive them”, he said.
Ayade said the aides and civil servants said to be loyal to
PDP are first citizens of Cross River State. The money used in paying them
belongs to the state, not APC.
“It is not morally very right to lay them off from their
works simply because they are not in my party yet.
“I play politics with moral conscience. As governor, I am
also a father of the state. I can only be forced to sack when it has become too
unbearable”, he said
