Of course, this is Calachika chicken<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">processing plant,&#8221; the governor said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Thanking the people of Cross River for re-electing him on the basis of his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">achievements in office, the state number one citizen, said it would have<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">been strange if he had lost the election. &#8220;A governor that does not owe<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">salaries, that lifted embargo on employment, expanded government by<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">appointing 8,000 people into office; a governor that has industrialized<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the state, why wouldn&#8217;t such a governor be re-elected? I won in all<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">polling units. It has never happened in the history of Cross River,&#8221; he<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">further stated.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Governor Ayade urged Cross Riverians to unite and join him in fixing the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">state, saying his philosophy of politics with ethics abhors making or<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">keeping political enemies. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have a friend in PDP and an enemy in<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">APC or any other party. It&#8217;s against my politics with ethics philosophy. I<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">see all Cross Riverians as one.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">On the Super highway and the Bakassi Deep\u00a0 Seaport, the re-elected<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">governor described the two as key economic projects of his administration<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that must be realised and called on the federal government to show keen<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">interest in them.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">According to him, the Bakassi Deep Seaport is key to the economic growth<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of Northern Nigeria as the Port, when completed will bring the North<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">closer to the Atlantic ocean than Lagos does. Governor Ayade disclosed<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that the five South East states have already keyed into the project by<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">agreeing to sign a memorandum of understanding for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">its realization with his government.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cross River state Governor, Professor Ben Ayade has described his re- election as a reward for his achievements in office during his first term.
