What Next For Gov Ayade, APC In Cross River? - Latest News
As good as the Ayade policy initiative may have been, critics of his administration alleged that he goofed especially in the area of executing basic infrastructure projects that would have been for the betterment of the people.

This is not to say that the administration failed woefully in all ramifications. His ‘food on the table programme’ where he expanded government and provided opportunity remained the best policy that Ayade would ever be remembered for even after he quits office at the expiration of his tenure.
