Senate leader condemns politicising visit to Buhari
Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma Egba on Sunday condemned attempts to politicise his decision to lead a Cross Rivers State delegation to the President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
Ndoma Egba said this in Abuja, on Sunday, while reacting to a statement credited to a group of elders of the Cross River State chapter of the All Progressives Congress.
The group led by Eyo Nsa Ekpo, had in a statement described the Senate leader as leading a group of “political gold diggers” to visit Buhari in an attempt to reap where they did not sow.
Ndoma Egba who spoke through his Media aide, Ignatius Uzuegbulam, said, “For the avoidance of doubt, I clearly stated during the visit that I was leading a non partisan group to see the president-elect.
“The suffering of the people of our dear state has no party affiliation.
“The painful loss of Bakassi and our oil wells which have further impoverished our people, is a problem we all have been living with since the sad events took place.
“The People of Cross River State stand to benefit if these injustices are reversed by whomsoever God gives the power to do so, irrespective of political or religious affiliation.”
He advised all those who had doubts about the roles he played before and during the struggle for Bakassi to take time out and goggle his name and the subject.
According to him, apart from his thriving legal practice, he has spent the greater part of his adult life serving the people of Cross Rivers State in various capacities.
The Senate leader also said it was too late in the day for him to be looking for a job because his legal practice is waiting for him as he leaves office. He, however, stressed that he remains committed to his political calling.
He also said nothing stops Ekpo or anyone else from leading their own delegations.
