Ahead of the Gubernatorial Elections, Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade has debunked rumours making rounds, that a Lagos Court of Appeal sacked him as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Ayade described the reports as fake because there was no such pending matter before the Appeal Court.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Ita, on Wednesday, the Governor maintained that the “case instituted in a Federal High Court in Abuja by Mr Emmanuel Ibeshi was discontinued when he filed a legitimate notice of discontinuance and as such never went on appeal.”
Ayade received the report as the “handiwork of political opponents who have been dazed by the reality that his bid was a fait acompli.”
He, however, urged members of the public and his teeming supporters to disregard what he termed as fake report.
