“We have resolved also to mobilise and sensitize the citizens of Cross River State to resist any attempt to sell state assets to family members and cronies of the current administration, which moves are now visible.”
”To give verve to their resolution, the state working committee has raised a 4-man establishment committee headed by the party secretary, Tony Edako to assess the immediate administrative needs and recommend comprehensive and immediate takeoff needs for administrators of the party.
