|Information reaching our news desk has it that the Executive Governor of Cross River State will be received in a grand style today at about 3pm today at the Magrate Ekpo Int'l Airport Calabar.
The reception is expected to have the members of the state Executive Council, members of the state, the Cross River State House of Assembly, political appointees, support groups and student Union to give the governor a rousing welcome.
Recall that the Governor was rumoured to have slumped in his office at the news of the arrest of the Governor's brother, Frank Ayade by men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.
Other rumours had it that the Governor was flown to China or India for medical attention.
In a related development, the house of Assembly was rumoured to be planing an impeachment process against the Governor for leaving the state for a long period without transiting power to his deputy as duly stated by the constitution.
A close source to the Governor's office hinted that the grand reception is organized to put to shame all those peddling the rumours of EFCC arresting the Governor's brother, the Governor slumping and flown to receive medical treatment overseas and the State legislators planning to impeach the Governor.
So the legislatures have been mobilized to show solidarity with the Governor in order to dismiss the impeachment claims.
It is also alleged that Dr. Frank Ayade, has been seen moving freely all over town, this also goes to disclaim the rumour of his arrest by EFCC for possession of unverified amount of Cash.
