Cross River state Governor, Ben Ayade has been named the hero of democracy for his role in the just concluded governorship and state House of Assembly elections in Cross River state.
The Governor was named Hero of Democracy by the National Publicity Secretary of the Pentecostal Fellowship Of Nigeria (PFN) Bishop Emmah Isong in Calabar, Cross River state while reacting to the outcomes of the elections in Cross River State.
According to Bishop Emmah Isong, despite losing his Senatorial ambition, Governor Ayade still went ahead to fight and ensure that, he enthroned his successor and several other of his beneficiaries in different elective positions across Cross River state and beyond.
“Governor Ayade has become the Hero of Democracy in Nigeria. A sitting Governor who supposedly even though he is in court, has failed the election, but went back to work for his boys to become senators and Governor.
“He did not put down his tool, he worked hard to produce the highest number of proteges politically, look at Asuquo Ekpenyong, the Senator-elect, look at Prince Otu Cross River Governor-elect, the list is unending, so, even though the man doesn’t go anywhere tomorrow when he comes to Cross River state, he becomes the biggest project,” the cleric said.
