ASHENEWS can authoritatively report that government appointees in Cross River State who fail to deliver their various polling units for the All Progressive Congress candidates in the forthcoming governorship and State Assemblies elections, risk being relieved of their positions.
The Chairman of the party in the state, Alphonsus Eba, gave the directives while briefing newsmen at the Ernest Etim Bassey NUJ Press Centre Calabar, the Cross River State capital.
“Any appointee of government who failed in the last election to deliver his polling unit is hereby forgiven as a temporal relief, but if you fail in your polling unit again, you will cease to be an appointee 48 hours after the declaration of results.
“This is the decision taken by the highest level of our party after due consultations with all the major stakeholders, therefore those who have benefited from the government in the last eight years are to return home with what they have made from this government and share with their people at the various polling units,” he maintained.
Eba who explained that the directives affect all appointees at the local, state, and federal levels, enjoined all to return to their polling units for massive door-to-door campaigns to secure victory for APC candidates for the governorship and House of Assembly positions in the state.
“Go home and work. Work as if we are challenging a serious opposition, work as if we have a man standing,”he said.
The party chairman whose senatorial district (Cross River North) could not secure victory for the senatorial ambition of the incumbent Governor Ben Ayade during the February 25 elections, also added, “go home and interface with your people, if you do not deliver you will forfeit March and April salaries, “
