GOV. BEN AYADE STORMS YALA AMIDST MAMMOTH CROWD

Office of the SSA to the Governor of Cross River State on Mobilization and Enlightenment

January 24, 2019

His Excellency, Governor Ben Ayade, on Tuesday, January 22, 2019 was received by the timbers and calibers of politicians in Yala Local Government in Cross River North.

He touched down at Wanokom, the ancestral home of Ukelle, to receive the great political iroko of Ukelle, Dr. Julius Okputu, who defected from the All Progressive Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with thousands of supporters.

PDP big wigs who were drawn from the hills of Obanliku to the shores of Bakassi were in Ukelle land to witness what could be aptly described as "campaign flag up of the century".

For many 'Thomases' who doubted the return of the 'Jesus of Ukelle Land,' it was a big blow to see that the event of the campaign flag up climaxed in the defection of the political genius.

The Governor proceeded from the hospitable land of Ukelle to Okpoma in Yala 1 Constituency, where countless number of supporters eagerly waited to receive him.

In the previous night of the event, Chief Mrs Angela Ogeyi Odey, under the aegis of Oja-Ugu Supporters platform and Office of SSA to Governor Ayade on Mobilization and Enlightenment, had gone round Okpoma and environs, using her official hiluz with musical blast of Governor Ayade's campaign jingle, to sensitize the electorates on the triumphant entry of the supersonic Governor, Senator Ben Ayade.

Early morning on Tuesday, the political amazon of Yala, Chief Angela Odey, also went round with Oja-Ugu Supporters to remind the public that the big masquerade would show up at the playground to answer possible questions that that they have deemed to have defied answers.

In his speech, Governor Ben Ayade cleared the doubt from the minds of many that he wouldn't keep to his promises of completing the Mfom-Okpoma-Okuku-Bekwara Super Highway, asking those present who they think would complete the project if he (Governor Ben Ayade) is not re-elected.

He was emphatic of the fact that he is a full blooded Yala man, stressing that he is keen about making Yala sons and daughters millionaires.

The party flag was handed to all PDP flag bearers, who were cheered by the tumult crowd whose rhythm of victorious chant filled the air.
