Cross River PDP Crisis Escalates as GDA Defends Ikem's Endorsement Amidst Caucus Rejection
The Cross River PDP faces a deepening crisis as the Grassroots Democratic Alliance (GDA) defends the endorsement of Venatius Ikem for a second term as chairman, despite the Southern senatorial district caucus rejecting his endorsement. The GDA criticized the caucus, claiming it lacked credibility and endorsed Ikem based on his proven track record in public service.
The GDA also rejected the candidacy of Tim Ekawu, accusing him of lacking credibility and calling his candidacy a joke. The endorsement dispute comes ahead of the state congress scheduled for September, with tensions rising within the party's ranks in Cross River State.
