Pandemonium continues to rock the Cross River State People’s Democratic Party – PDP as Sandy, Jarigbe, Vena, others absent as Atiku floats PDP campaign in C’river State.
Recall that The Warden had published the fracas between the State party chairman of the PDP and the Former Governor of the State, Mr Liyel Imoke, where Liyel ordered Vena to be thrown out of his house.
In validating that story, the trio of Sandy Onor, the PDP Gubernatorial candidate, Venatius Ikem, the State Party Chairman and Senator Jarigbe Agom, Senator representing the Northern Senatorial District of Cross River State, amongst others made bold their statement by refusing to show up for the Presidential rally held in Calabar.
At the point of this report, The Warden can authoritatively submit that indeed there is a visible faction within the PDP family in the state.
While one of the faction is led by the Governorship candidate of the party, Senator Onor with sworn loyalty and allegiance to Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State who have vowed to frustrate the Presidential ambition of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for not respecting the zoning arrangements of the party.
Others within the faction are; the State party Chairman, Mr Venatius Ikem, Fmr Governor Duke, Senator Jarigbe Agom, Mr Ekpo Okon, Mrs Emana Amawhe, Sir Arthur Jarvis, Hon Essien Ayi, Hon Etta Mbora etc.
The other faction is rather led by the immediate past Governor of the State Mr Liyel Imoke with his bossom friend and partner, Senator Gershom Bassey.
Members in support of this group are ; Hon. Bassey Eko Ewa, Barr Attah Ochinke, Peter Akpanke, Amb. Nkoyo Toyo etc
