From Aniekan Aniekan, Calabar
Chapter and ward executives of the All Progressives Congress in Cross River have intensified calls for the resignation of the State Chairman, Alphonsus Eba.
The executives made this known during a combined meeting of the Forum of Ward Chairmen, Chapter Chairmen, secretaries, and the 196 ward chairmen of the party in Calabar.
Addressing the executives, Chairman of the Chairmen Forum and Chapter Chairman of Boki, High Chief Kelvin Njong, said the fight is a collective one against the state chairman and also a revolution.
“This is a collective fight and a revolution,” he said. “This issue is no longer a hidden matter. There is a crisis in the party; we have to address it and the only way to address this is for the chairman to step down,” he said.

Comrade Frankline Egbai from the Biase Local Government Chapter expressed deep dissatisfaction with the treatment of ward executives by the state party chairman, saying some chapter executives go home with as little as 700 naira per month.
They also passed a vote of confidence on the state governor, Senator Bassey Otu, and declared total support for his re-election in view of his achievements.
However, the state party chairman, Alphonsus Eba, rejected the allegations against him as unfounded.
