How Ayade Lost Senate Ticket In Movie Show – Aide

Governor Ben Ayade has cried blue murder after he was reported to have lost in the Cross River North primaries of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In his immediate reaction, the governor speaking through his spokesman denied the narrative saying that he was neither a participant in the primary nor a witness to the primary that took place. He said it was film script and trick to deceive the public as he insisted the governor was firmly in the presidential race to win.

He also debunked the accompanying video that went with the story describing it as a ruse manufactured by those he called clowns.

Rebuffing the narrative that Ayade lost the Senate ticket, he said:

“The attention of the Cross River state government has been drawn to a video circulating in cyberspace purporting to be a parallel All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primaries for Northern Cross River where His Excellency, Professor Ben Ayade was listed as a participant.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we hereby state clearly that Governor Ayade did not take part in any senatorial primaries.

“His Excellency is a presidential aspirant who will be taking part in the APC presidential convention now slated for June 6.

“We make bold to say that the so-called parallel primary election as contained in the said video was at best a poorly scripted skit comedy shot by three persons sitting in a room.

“The sham video is indeed a joke taken too far. It was a vapid, infantile but failed attempt at manipulation as the clowns behind it tragically forgot to also manufacture ballot boxes, delegates, observers and APC panel members,” the Ayade spokesman said in rebuffing the stories that the governor lost the Senate primary.

“It was a handiwork of political desperadoes who are out to embarrass the governor.

“We wish to assure teeming APC members and supporters, particularly in Northern Cross River, that there was no parallel Senatorial primaries  in the district.

“The only valid and recognised senatorial primaries that took place in Ogoja and which was won by the former Chief of Staff to the Governor, Hon Martin Orim and which does not have Ayade on the ballot, was monitored by the INEC and representatives from APC’s National Secretariat.

“The purported video suggesting a parallel exercise should therefore be ignored,” he concluded in rebuffing the reports that Ayade lost the Senate ticket.
