Ayade reinstates appointees who resigned to contest primaries

Cross River State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade has approved the
reinstatement of all appointees in his government who resigned their
positions to contest the just concluded party primaries, but lost.

A statement issued in Calabar, Wednesday by his Chief Press Secretary,
Mr. Christian Ita, directed the affected appointees whose appointments
were not subjected to confirmation by the State House of Assembly to
resume work immediately.

The statement, however, explained that those in the categories of
Commissioners and Special Advisers will have their names forwarded
immediately by the Secretary to the State Government to the House of
Assembly for reconfirmation.

In the run-up to the primaries, over 40 appointees resigned to seek
tickets for various elective offices.
