‘Ayade’s impeachment campaign wrong’

A former Chairman of Inter -Party Advisory Council in Cross River State , Mr . Goddie Akpama, has said it was wrong for a group to campaign for the impeachment Governor Ben Ayade over numerous foreign trips.
A group , Cross River Transparency Network International, had on Wednesday unveiled its campaign for the impeachment of the Governor for travelling out of the state for over one month without handing over to his deputy.
The group had also said that it will organise a one-million-man march to protest against the frequent trips and call on the state House of Assembly to commence the process of impeachment.
But in a statement issued in Calabar, Akpama said that although it was right for the group and its members to air their views, such views should be based on truth and rational conclusions .
He said , “Members of the group should have realized that Cross River State cannot, and does not operate in isolation and must of necessity tap from the outside world in order to improve on various facet of its live , especially its economy.
“This dream of moving the economy of the state forward requires the much needed foreign exchange through the attraction of foreign investments , and this explains why Governor Ayade has been travelling aboard periodically to woo investors into the state .
