LG Boss Tasked on Devt From Amby Uneze in Calabar Chairman, Obudu Local Government Council of Cross River State, Mrs. Cecilia Ally has been urged to stop moves geared at blackmailing the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Venatius Ikem, for the interest of peace. A group known as the Foundation for Democracy and Equity (FODE) said the council chairman should devise a new means that would help her run the affairs of the council to achieve peace and not to fan the embers of discord in the once peaceful council. Disclosing this to our correspondent in Calabar, the group led by its Facilitator General, Mr Bonnie Ewhe, debunked reports in one of the national dailies (not THISDAY) quoting the council chairman as saying she bathed the National Publicity Secretary of the party with water at Obudu, the penultimate week. Ewhe said it was even an act of indiscipline for the council chairman to claim she bathe national officer of her party with water. He said Obudu people feel very sad for the action of the council chairman. "As concerned citizens of the LGA, we want to deny that there is no problem in Obudu, as Mrs Ally claimed in the said publication. Obudu is a peaceful place and as long as the selection of supervisors and legal adviser to the council is concerned, there is no problem," the group said. According to them, what we did was to follow the directives of the party in the state which mandated that chapter chairmen of the party, the council chairman and caucus members of each local government council should meet to select and harmonise the political members of the executive council. The group stated that at no point was it a personal matter between the chairman of council and the national publicity secretary of the party. "His approach is what we find to be worrying because if she had told the caucus that she wanted some positions like secretary of council, the caucus would have reasoned with her and oblige, but the way she went about the whole thing was disgusting." "The National Publicity Secretary has a lot of work to do at Abuja than to say he wanted some people in the list. It was a caucus decision and not a personal problem. So the national publicity secretary should be left alone to do his work he was sent to do," the group stated.
