Christian Ita, the spokesperson for the Cross River governor, Ben Ayade, has denied claims that his boss participated in a senatorial primary on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
The purported result from the primary in which Ayade was said to have participated has been trending on social media Saturday afternoon.
In a statement he signed, the Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the governor, said, “His Excellency is a presidential aspirant who will be taking part in the APC presidential convention now slated for June 6.
“We make bold to say that the so-called parallel primary election as contained in the said video was at best a poorly scripted skit comedy shot by three persons sitting in a room.”
