Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade has threatened to quit the Peoples Democratic Party {PDP} if the party continues to undermine him or refuse to give him his due recognition.
The Governor stated this at the weekend when he played host to Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed in Calabar, the state capital, adding that because he plays politics with ethics, his style is being mistaken for weakness. According to him, it was time he put his foot down and take a decision on the bases of what will prosper the collective well-being of his people.
He said: “I cannot blind myself to the challenges of PDP and decide not to know what to do at the right time for their [Cross River people] sake.
“I know you are somebody that doesn’t take injustice. One single injustice they will see a new Cross River state. And I say it as a warning because it does appears that your party seems to celebrate people who threaten and stress them.”
