The Leadership of Young Progressive Party, YPP Cross River State Chapter has called on security agencies in the state to investigate corruption charges leveled against her state chairman, Mr. Anthony Bissiong.
Speaking in Calabar during a press briefing, Chief Edet Okon a member of the party's state working committee disclosed that the chairman have been involved in several activities which negates the spirit and soul of the party's constitution. He mentioned that. Anthony Bisong has derailed the focus of the party, thus plunging her to ridicule, shame and mockery.
According to a statement signed by Chief Edet Okon, Bissong have been involved in anti-party activities which is unacceptable by the party.
"we have undeniable evidences of series of anti-party activities perpetrated by Anthony Bisong. He has been holding clandestine meetings as well as collecting money from the APC so as to systematically emasculate the Young Progressives Party YPP in the State. Recently, he signed and collected the sum of N3.5million for this purpose. Anthony Bisong has become more of APC than YPP, this is unacceptable and is a negation of the constitution of our great party." The statement reads in part.
The statement also accused Bissong of otyet sundry issues such as high handedness and failure to hold state working committee meetings which the party's constitution stipulates to always hold at least three times in a year.
"Mr. Anthony Bisong has abandoned the path of honour. Our attention has been drawn to a press release signed by the Deputy Chief Press secretary, Linus Obogo. In his Press release, he revealed that Anthony Bisong was given the sum of N50 million by some members of the opposition party to discredit INEC and the state government. For us, Our interest lies in the lives and property of the state. We the member of the YPP can not sit and watch our dear State being destroyed because of selfish benefit of an individual.
We have viewed Anthony Bisong's action of late to be that of a dancer dancing to an invisible drummer whose drum beatings and lyrics can only be heard by him. The activities of Anthony Bisong are an embarrassment to our party. We are not known to be vulgar, violent, and preposterous. This is against the philosophy and ideology of our party. For the allegation of bribery and corruption we call on security agencies to promptly investigate his financial dealings and bring him to book." The statement reads.
