Cross River APC Legacy Group Warns Against Misuse of Its Name, Reaffirms Loyalty to Governor’s Agenda


Notice of Disclaimer on a Purported Meeting of the Cross River North APC Legacy Group

October 30, 2024


The attention of the Cross River APC Legacy Group has been drawn to a purported meeting allegedly scheduled for October 31, 2024, in Ogoja, by individuals claiming to represent the Cross River North APC Legacy Group. As the State Chairman of the Cross River APC Legacy Group, I, Hon. Eyo Nsa Ekpo, Esq., wish to categorically state that no such meeting has been sanctioned by the leadership of the Legacy Group in Cross River State.


This purported meeting, called without consultation or authorization from the group's leadership, is both unauthorized and mischievous. We consider it an attempt by certain faceless elements to misuse the name of the APC Legacy Group in Cross River State, possibly as a guise to undermine the goodwill and stability our group enjoys with His Excellency, the Governor of Cross River State. It is disheartening that such efforts are being made to use the group as a tool for divisive purposes, particularly when our focus remains on supporting the Governor and contributing positively to the growth of our state.


The Cross River APC Legacy Group stands firmly behind the Governor, recognizing his commendable leadership and efforts to inclusively carry the group along, especially in the ongoing appointments and preparations for the forthcoming Local Government elections. The Governor’s consideration for the Legacy Group’s involvement reflects his commitment to acknowledging our contributions and ensuring a cohesive and united APC in Cross River State.


Furthermore, it should be noted that the APC Legacy Group operates with established leadership structures across the state, including in the northern senatorial district. Any member with concerns or issues is encouraged to use the proper channels to relay them. Bypassing these established channels is not only disrespectful but also undermines the unity and purpose of the group. Any unauthorized use of the name "APC Legacy Group" by individuals or factions within the state constitutes a breach of trust and is in clear violation of our organizational protocols.


We, therefore, advise all members of the Legacy Group, especially those in Cross River North, to disregard the purported meeting on October 31, 2024. Such unauthorized gatherings serve only to disrupt our collective mission and sow unnecessary discord within the party.


The Cross River APC Legacy Group remains committed to supporting the Governor’s developmental agenda and ensuring that the APC remains strong and united in service to the people of Cross River State.


We urge all members to remain vigilant and committed to the group's ideals, focusing on our shared goals and vision. Let us continue to work together, supporting our leaders through the proper structures, for the benefit of Cross River State and the APC.


Thank you.


Signed,


Hon. Eyo Nsa Ekpo, Esq.  

State Chairman
