The members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Cross River State are currently at loggerheads over local government elections in the State.
A faction led by John Ochala noted that they are no longer interested in participating in the forthcoming elections in all 18 local governments in the state, while a faction led by Bassey Okon Bassey said they are ready for election on Saturday.
“We are set for the election on Saturday, even though time is short but they cannot do without participating in the election. You know we are still observing social distancing hence; we are campaigning from house to house.
“By so doing, people who like us will vote for us. APC is on the ballot and we are ready for the elections. I heard that the other faction claimed that they have pulled out but some of their members are saying they are not aware of such.
“In fact, I am having a meeting with some executive members of the other faction, we have put our house in order with a view to ensuring that APC wins some of the local government councils in the State”, says Bassey.
However, Ochala has said going to the polls on Saturday is “ridiculous.”
