Out of Curiosity, i strolled into one of the articles Written about him by Pius Odey through one of his numerous sites. www.votejedyagbaforgov.com

Imoke suspends Works Commissioner for fighting in public
on january 02, 2012 at 9:00 am in news

CALABAR – GOVERNOR Liyel Imoke of Cross River State has suspended the Commissioner for Works, Mr. Venatius Ikem, from the state executive council for allegedly fighting and stabbing a staff of Mega Hilton hotel, Mr. Boniface Ishamali, with a broken bottle.

The governor, according to a statement by Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Mr. Mike Aniah, had directed Ikem, who was a former Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and also served as an adviser to President Olusegun Obasanjo’s government, to hand over all the ministry’s documents to the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr Linus Ovat.

Already, Ikem had been arrested and detained at the State Housing Estate Police division on the orders of the state Commissioner of Police.
The victim, who is now lying critically ill at a hospital in Calabar with stitches on his face, is said to double as Personal Assistant to the Senator representing Cross River North senatorial district.

Already, Ishamali has petitioned the Assistant Inspector General of Police in-charge of Zone Six, over what he described as attempted murder and called for an investigationinto the matter, so that Ikem will face the full wrath of the law.
The victim, in the petition, claimed that he was sent by his in-law, Dr. Frank Ayade, to deliver a message to Prof. Zana Akpagu, Special Adviser to Governor Liyel Imoke on Special Duties at his residence, but after delivering the message, Prof. Akpagu beckoned on him to accompany him to a party organised by Mr. Ejadons Esege, Special Adviser on Project Monitoring and Evaluation.
Ishamali said: “I drove behind Akpagu’s car to the party. I sat with Akpagu, Dr. Edet Ikpi, state Commissioner for Health, Mr. Sayina Robinson, when Ikem arrived. After exchange of pleasantries, I wanted to move away from the table to allow Ikem interact with his colleagues when he accosted me and asked what somebody like me was doing at the party. I answered him that I accompanied Prof. Akpagu, who also explained that I came with him. He told Ikem to leave me alone to enjoy myself but Ikem insisted that I should leave the place.

UC Question: IS LEGOR IDAGBO TAKING THE LEAD?

Culed from a Facebook post by - Stanley Morphy 

C.R.S: COUNT DOWN TO 2015
A GALE OF ENDORSEMENTS
Another forum was held recently. Cross Riverians from all works of life representing shades of opinion,came together and spoke with one voice again and endorsed one candidate that seems to be enjoying widespread acceptability with an overwhelming support base.
He has served in every capacity and is in good reckoning with everybody,and above all, GOD.

He equally appears to be the most formidable aspirant among a list of other non significant and uninspiring horde of contenders,as widely acclaimed and acknowledged everywhere across the state.
He is loyal,humble,competent,credible,accessible: a philanthropist par excellence.

He is a man of great vision symbolising THE NEW FACE OF CROSS RIVER STATE. Endorsed by stakeholders,Associations, Professional bodies,Public Servants, Political Office holders,Appointees, Elders and would be delegates----

HE IS HON. BAR. LEGOR IDAGBO
GOVERNOR C.R.S 2015!
JOIN US IN THE PRIMARIES AS WE PREPARE TO SEPARATE THE "GRAIN" FROM THE CHAFF

Now our Question is: Is Bar. Legor Igadbo really Taking the lead? I thought The Electorate were complaining that he was not Making effort? How come he is overtaking people who started before Him in the Race? 
HE IS INDEED LOVED BY MANY I GUESS!

Exclusive: STATEMENTS THAT CHANGED THE POLITICAL WEATHER IN CROSS RIVER STATE...

Infoupdatecrossriver@gmail.com 

Quoting the Executive Governor of Cross River State and other Political Leaders in the State :

“In Cross River State, we have three senatorial districts. Two have produced governors of the state. Will it be fair not to allow another senatorial district not to produce governor? At the national level, the North produced president, the same with the South-west and now South-south. We have to do the same here for reasons of equity. It is a natural thing. - Sen. Liyel Imoke

“In all my politics, I have stood for fairness. I was one of those opposed to those who said an Efik man cannot become governor of Cross River State. I fought against it and thank God an Efik became governor of the state. The final seal on this matter is that the next governor of our state would come from the Northern Senatorial District”, - Sen. Liyel Imoke

“My position on zoning was made clear a long time ago. And it was based on my personal conviction. I managed to convince my party to formalize the process so that it would not just be Imoke’s personal conviction, but that of the position of the party that we formally, if we have not done it before, zone the governorship to the Northern Senatorial District.” - Sen. Liyel Imoke

“The north should produce the next governor, as the south has had its fair share of the governorship in the person of Donald Duke in 1999 and 2003 and the central has had its turn in the emergence of my humble self as governor in 2007 and 2011,” - Sen. Liyel Imoke

"Whoever that will succeed me, must have the capacity to surpass me. He must understand the most difficult political situations of our state and that the person so chosen you the leaders should be supported by the majority as well as the whole state.” - Sen. Liyel Imoke

"Disregard doubting ‘Thomases’ and skeptics who think the governorship from the Northern Senatorial District of the state in 2015 was still a pipe dream.
- Sen. Liyel Imoke

“Nobody can force me to impose my successor. I may not know who the next governor will be, but I know who the next governor will not be.”
- Sen. Liyel Imoke

“Even when my successor from the North is sworn in 2015, they are still those who will doubt that I handed over to one of you. They will say is this Imoke sincere? Will he not cause the tribunal to quash the election? This is the kind of thing you will hear from the doubters. But my advice to you is to remain focused, committed and steadfast to the party and speak with one voice.”
- Seen. Liyel Imoke

“It is marvellous. It is perfect thinking, perfect analysis and perfect timing. It shows that the leadership has a perfect understanding of the politics of the state and how to meet the yearnings of the people.
“It also shows that Imoke is a man of his words. People should learn to make promises and stand by them. It shows that we have come of age. This zoning will bring about fair play, equity and fair representation. I hereby charged the people of the Northern Senatorial District to be cohesive so that at the end of the day we justify that we rightly deserved the position,”
- Mr. Timmy Tom Udam

"The zoning had brought plenty of excitement to the north in particular and the state in general.
"For once, we can sit down together and decide on what we should do. It shows maturity in our politics and gives every senatorial district a sense of belonging.
“The zone is ready to produce a candidate for the PDP. It may not be that easy because we are not in heaven but that will not prevent us from producing a candidate that will be acceptable to all. We have resolved that whoever wins the primary election will be given massive support. We have come of age and cannot let this opportunity slip by. The north is prepared, very prepared for the governorship of the state,” - Mr Tom Agi

“We stand on the zoning arrangement which confers on us the right to produce the next governor and nobody can stop that,” - Chief Andrew Oboche

"the state chairman of the PDP, Mr. John Okon, called for unity among the people of northern senatorial district of the state. Okon said it was unique to note that the PDP which was alleged to be a sinking party in the state was waxing stronger by putting structures in place."

He said the party was heading towards resounding victory in the 2015 general elections going by the structures it already had in place...

One thing is, however, clear. Whoever would emerge will have to sweat for it as the governor has openly said that he has no anointed candidate. But not a few people doubt the self-professed stance of the governor because he has also said he knows those who will not succeed him.
