Former governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Cross River State, Dr. Effiong Nyong, has warned that the party and the people of the state will no longer allow themselves to be taken for a ride by what he described as political impostors. “The names from Cross River State listed are alien to the ADC. They are not members of the party, do not possess ADC membership cards, are unknown in any ward or chapter of the party, and have never contributed a kobo to the growth or activities of the ADC in Cross River State,” Nyong said. Nyong disclosed that several blocs within the coalition, which joined voluntarily and contributed financially, are deeply unhappy with the appointment of non-members, warning that Cross River State will no longer tolerate being sidelined or misrepresented. “If the ADC truly seeks to rescue Cross River State and Nigeria, it must first rescue itself from the clutches of these impostors who want to hijack the platform for narrow interests by shutting out genuine members,” he said.
