Cross River, Headlines, State News Friday, March 3rd, 2017The event was in fulfilment to celebrate his birthday with the internally displace persons at Ikpa-Nkaya, Akwa-Ikot-Eyo-Edem in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of the state.

The group wore customised clothing with bold inscriptions disclosing their plans to ensure the governor ran for a second term in 2019.
