You Have Between Now & 31st Dec. To Register As APC Member Or You'll Be Sacked - APC To Ayade's 7,000 Appointees

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River State has threatened to sack about 7,000 persons appointed by Governor Ben Ayade into different positions in the state.

The APC chairman-elect, Alphonsus Eba sent the strong warning at a media briefing in Calabar on Tuesday.

He said most of the appointees are yet to register as members of APC and gave them up till December 31, 2021 to register or be shown the exit door on January 1, 2021.

“All the 7,000 appointees yet to register with APC must be relieved of their appointments,” he said, adding that their positions will be filled by APC members.

He said article 9(5) of the APC constitution bars members from taking appointment with the government of other political parties.

Eba said members of the newly elected state executive had visited aggrieved members of the party.

“We have had interactions with aggrieved members of our party. In the last count, not fewer than 100 distinguished party members, young, old, major, minor have been visited. The belief of every party member is that APC is the party to be at,” he said.

He also said he believed in zoning as he said, “Zoning is not a problem in APC. It is that of PDP.”
