Again the Cross River State Governor, Sen. Ben Ayade has warned Government officials and his aids to stop making public statements on behalf of himself or the Government.

This second directive was contained in a press release by Christian Ita, Special Adviser Media and Publicity to the Governor and made available to our newsroom.

The release, “Following the current upbeat in the tempo of political activities in the State, His Excellency Sen.
