Ayade’s aide on presidency resigns
Divine Arong, the Special Adviser to Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State on Presidency and National Assembly Matters, has resigned.
She resigned her appointment in a letter addressed to the governor through the office of the Secretary to the State Government, Tina Agbor.
The resignation letter dated December 29, 2020 and made available to journalists in Calabar on Tuesday, is titled ‘Letter of resignation as Special Adviser to the governor of Cross River State on Presidency and National Assembly Matters’.
The letter read in part, “I hereby tender my resignation as Special Adviser to the Governor of Cross River State on Presidency and National Assembly Matters from today, the 29th day of December 2020. The reason to resign from my position is personal.”
Although no official reasons were given for her resignation, sources close to her revealed that it might not be unconnected with the outcome of some litigations between Ayade’s faction and Jarigbe Agom’s group in the Peoples Democratic Party. Punch
