…Says office should be reserved for experienced party leader
By Kelvin Obambon
The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Cross River State chapter, has called for the removal of Hon. Nkoyo Otu, the Special Adviser to Governor Bassey Otu on Inter-Party Affairs, saying she lacks the capacity and experience to hold such an office.
The call was made in a 6-point resolution drawn by an enlarged general meeting of IPAC, held Wednesday, 12th June, to mark the 2024 Democracy Day, which was chaired by the State Chairman of IPAC, Engr. Effiom Okon.
For not having the experience of leading a political party, the group urged Governor Otu to replace Hon. Nkoyo Otu with someone from IPAC who is a leader of a political party.
“Our observation is that the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the State Governor, Mr Nsa Gill, was appointed from NUJ as well and the the Special Adviser on Labour was also appointed from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) because every organisation understands its dynamics, and uses that to their advantage to communicate if need be.

We appeal that IPAC should not be an exception. Our appeal is that an SA Inter-Party Affairs should be appointed from amongst our party leaders.
“Nkoyo Otu lacks the capacity and experience to lead political parties having not been a party chairman.
