Mudiaga AffeNigeria’s Ambassador to Uganda, Mr. Nya Asuquo, has declared his intention to contest the governorship seat in the 2019 election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in Cross River State. Asuquo said he would contest the election because the current leadership in the state had failed, adding that the state had become less productive because of poor governance. He said, “I am entering the race because the current leadership has failed. Cross Riverians are seen to be less productive because of visionless leadership that has refused to look for the treasures hidden in their backyards. But suddenly the drum player in Rivers State gave the governorship to the North and the chairmanship to central.
