Cross River State Governor Benedict Ayade has warned Nigerians not to fall victim to political manipulation during the general election that would take place in 2019.
He cautioned the populace to exercise caution around politicians, describing them as dishonest.
His special adviser on media, Barrister Christian Ita, signed his New Year’s message, which included this.
He said, “Ahead of the forthcoming general elections, the Governor called on the people of the State to put Cross River above parochial considerations and not allow self-seeking politicians to manipulate them for their selfish ends.
“Let us not allow unscrupulous politicians who do not mean well for our dear State to divide us. Remember that we have no other State than Cross River.”
The governor expressed gratitude to the people for standing by his government and for the great support he had received from them.
Ayade urged the people to “embrace 2023 with steadfastness, faith and hope as our State is already on the path of growth and prosperity through massive industrialization, provision of key infrastructure and mass employment.”
