Disregard news of my sack, it's fake news - Governor Ayade cries out amid PDP ticket crisis

- Cross River state governor, Ben Ayade, has described the report of his sack as PDP candidate as fake

- In a statement by his chief press secretary, Ayade said his enemies are peddling the fake news

- The governor, however, urged members of the public and his supporters to disregard the report

Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River says reports that a Court of Appeal has sacked him as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is the handiwork of his political opponents who have been “dazed by the reality that his re-election bid was a fait acompli”

Christian Ita, the chief press secretary to Ayade, in a statement on Thursday, March 7, in Calabar, described as fake news, reports trending on social media claiming the governor has been sacked by Court of Appeal in Lagos as PDP flag bearer in the Saturday, March 9 election.

Legit.ng gathers that Ita, in the statement, said there was no such pending matter in the court.

He maintained that the case instituted in a Federal High Court in Abuja by Emmanuel Ibeshi was discontinued when he filed a legitimate notice of discontinuance and as such never went on appeal.

Ita therefore, urged members of the public and the governor’s teeming supporters to disregard the fake report.

According to report, Justice Ambrose Lewis ruled that the purported nomination of Abba Kabir as governorship candidate of the PDP was void.
