The Conference of Cross River Professionals has faulted a statement credited to the governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke, that he knew those that cannot succeed him, but did not know who will.

Imoke was said to have made the comment while addressing a group of politicians in Calabar, recently.
Reacting in Lagos, Convener of Cross River Professionals, Mr. Effiong Nyong, described the statement as “unfortunate, self-serving and a clear betrayal of the people of Cross River State by the governor.

“We thought Imoke, a beneficiary of all the good things the state has to offer should know better and deal with issues concerning his succession with caution as we know that in our recent history, a former head of state, who made such a statement supervised the longest transition programme that ended in a disaster for Nigeria.”
