Following the CROSSRIVERWATCH.COM (Online) publication of November 12, 2014 with the headline: “ Ugbo Postpones Declaration,” with the last paragraph of the story stating; “CrossRiverWatch also gathered that one of the aspirants for the governorship seat and former Special Adviser to governor Imoke on Investment Promotion who was screened out by the party caucuses, Mr. Gerald Adah, has collapsed his campaign structure into Ugbo’s and was also billed to be present at the declaration”, we wish to categorically state the following:
1. That the last paragraph of the story is unknown to us and not connected with the Release from the Ntufam Fidelis Ugbo Campaign Organisation in view of the opening of the campaign office.
2. That neither Ntufam Barr Fidelis Ugbo nor the Campaign Organisation is aware of any collapse of structure by the Gerald Ada Team in favour of Ntufam Fidelis Ugbo.
3. That this last insertion to the story which has generated so much distaste in the Gerald Ada Team should not/cannot be attributed to the Ntufam Fidelis Ugbo Campaign Organisation but should be attributed solely to the writer or Publisher of the story who may wish to name the source of this particular information not known to the Ntufam Ugbo Team.
For the purpose of clarity, below is the full excerpt of the RELEASE from the Ntufam Fidelis Ugbo Campaign Organisation in respect of the Opening of the Campaign Office:
“Leading gubernatorial aspirant in Cross River, Ntufam Barr Fidelis Ugbo is set to open his campaign office for widespread political activities towards the 2015 gubernatorial election in the state.
The conspicuous Ugbo Campaign Office which is located at 22 Ibrahim Badomosi Babangida (IBB) Way in calabar would from tomorrow be playing host to myriads of activities billed for the actualisation of Ntufam Fidelis Ugbo’s aspiration in 2015.
All stakeholders as well as supporters of the Ugbo project are expected to converge at the campaign office by 2pm tomorrow for the commencement of the opening ceremony of the epoch making event.
Ntufam Fidelis Ugbo is expected back in Calabar from Abuja alongside his His Excellency the governor Senator Liyel Imoke and other members of his entourage, tomorrow Thursday 13th Novembers and would be received at the Margaret Ekpo International Airport for onward procession to the U.J Esuene Stadium where Governor Imoke is expected to address the Peoples’ Democratic Party faithful on the way forward for the party”.
Please, the Gerald Ada Campaign Team and the general Cross River Public should be guided accordingly.
Thank you.
