“This is politics and people will say so many things, whether it is true or not.” CrossRiver Nigeria
Egbona, in a re-run election as ordered by the Appeal Court, Calabar, late last year for Ekureku 1 and 2 in Abi Local Government Area to add up with other valid results, defeated the former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. John Gaul-Labo of Peoples Democratic Party .
Thus as a build-up to the election and during the election proper at the weekend, tension arose because of rumours alleging that the former governor of the state never wanted his former Chief of Staff, Egbona, to represent Abi/Yakurr Federal Constituency so as not to enact any strong political rivalry. On election day in the two wards, people openly alleged that the former governor tried to stop their man.
“This is politics and people will say so many things, whether it is true or not. The only problem is that Gaul is also close to Imoke, but he does not relate with people and is not a giver. For eight years that he was speaker during Imoke’s time he did nothing for his people. So, he is paying for it and if care is not taken this victory by Egbona may force John Gaul-Labo back to his law practice”.
