The face-off between the five governors of Peoples Democratic Party also known as G-5, led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and the Presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, over the refusal of its national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to step down has polarised members of PDP in Cross River State.
On the other side, former Governor Liyel Imoke, Cross River caucus chairman in the National Assembly, Senator Gershom Bassey; Cross River Central Senatorial candidate, Mr. Bassey Ewa; the Abi/Yakurr Federal Representatives candidate, Mr. Eko Atu; former Bakassi Local Government Council chairman, Mr. Emmanuel Etene and others have publicly expressed their support for Atiku.
When the Wike camp took delivery and commissioned the 25 branded bus in Calabar in November, the group loyal to Atiku was not there. In same vein, when the Atiku’s camp performed the inauguration of Atiku/Okowa campaign council office in December, Wike camp was absent. But Imoke, who is the Deputy Director of the Atiku/Okowa National Presidential Campaign Council , spoke with certainty that the PDP family in the state is set to win all elections with the calibre of people inaugurated into the Youth and Women wings of the PCC.
He said: “APC in the state is trying to learn the game of electioneering from PDP and will never know it enough to outclass the masters. The PDP will cruise to victory and Atiku Abubakar will win Cross River State convincingly.” “I am very certain that the crisis will not effect us in the state. What happens at the higher level may not happen at the lower level in the sense that at the higher level, it is too remarkable but here, we are closely knit. I am for Sandy Onor and he will win.”
