Bring your result to the party to get an appointment – APC chair
Monkey work Monkey chop – Otu
The collection of certificate of Returns by the Cross River state, Governor Elect, Sen. Prince Bassey Otu and the 25 State House of Assembly Members-elect has further intensify the scheming and hustling for appointments amongst politicians in Cross River State.
This may be the reason behind the statement made by the chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Cross River State, Barr Alphonsus Eba when he dropped a shocker at the reception party organised to celebrate the governor-elect and his deputy.
Eba had publicly announced that it is only those who won in their polling unit in the just concluded elections that will be qualified for appointments into the incoming administration.
He further added that many of the people who sold out during the just concluded elections and are still scheming their way into the incoming administration after betraying the party at the polls thinking the party would loss the election. He said such people will have no place in government.
"Nobody can get an appointment through the backdoor, Appointments will be based on polling unit results. If you call yourself a big man and you allowed an Okada man to win you in your polling unit, we will rather go for the Okadaman and leave you behind". Eba notified.
Speaking at the event the Governor-elect, Sen. Prince Bassey Otu used the opportunity to appreciate all those who worked towards the victory of the party at all levels stating that from may 29th the State will experience great changes.
In what seems like giving credence to the statement made by the party chairman, the governor-elect emphasised that only those who worked for the party will be recognised by the party.
Speaking to the youths that they would not labour for one big man somewhere will come to reap.
In his words; "I want to appreciate the youths of Cross River State in their various groupings for standing by me, the keke riders group and all other support groups. You have worked, no big man will come and reap your sweat. Monkey work, monkey go chop" he concluded.
