Cross River State Commissioner for Information, Chief Akin Ricketts, has said Governor Liyel Imoke is alive. “There is no iota of truth in the rumour that Gov. Liyel Imoke is dead,” the commissioner said at a news briefing on Friday in Calabar.
Rickett said the governor officially wrote to the House of Assembly last week that he was handing over to his deputy, Efiok Cobham, to enable him proceed on a two-month accumulated leave. “He is not dead, he is now recuperating. There are strong indications that he will soon return to the country,” Rickett said. The governor’s Chief Press Secretary and Special Assistant on Media, Mr Christian Ita, had in a statement on December 6 said that Imoke was away on medical grounds.
