The All Progressives Congress in Cross River State on Monday called for the impeachment of Governor Ben Ayade for numerous constitutional breaches.
The party said during a press briefing in Calabar that apart from the constitutional breaches, the various security challenges in the state were enough reason for the governor to be impeached.
The Chairman of the APC in the state, Mr. John Ochala, alleged that the lukewarm attitude of the present leadership of the state over serious matters of public concern, including security of lives and properties was only one aspect of the failure of the PDP-led government.
Ochala spoke alongside the National Vice Chairman of APC (South-South), Mr. Hilliard Eta, and a former member of House of Representatives, Mr. Paul Adah, among others.
He said three prominent indigenes of the state, including a chieftain of the party, Senator Patrick Ani, had been kidnapped in the last one week.
The APC state chairman also noted that outside the increased cases of armed robbery and kidnap in Calabar in recent times, other communities in the state were involved in unending communal clashes because of the near-absence of governance in the state.
Ochala said, “If the House of Assembly do not find any area for which to indict and consequently impeach Ayade, we wish to point to them that the governor has consistently stayed out of the state for a period longer than what the constitution prescribes, without duly transmitting the reins of governance to his deputy as prescribed by the relevant statutes.
“Also, he has acted contrary to the provisions laid out in the second schedule of the constitution by attempting to, among others, create a police force in the guise of Green Police, Homeland Security, which are in the exclusive preserve of the Federal Government.”
