In a statement, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, noted that the governor used part of his ten years accumulated leave for medical treatment, adding that the PDP family missed him while he was away, but was now overjoyed that he is back in the saddle.
Metuh went on: “The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) welcomes the Executive Governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke, back to the country after his ten years accumulated leave.
”The PDP family missed the governor while he was away, but we are now elated that he is back in the saddle. We are happy that after his thorough medical check, the governor is now fully recharged and refilled to continue the good works he has been doing in the state.”
The PDP thanked Cross River State government functionaries, including the Acting Governor, the leadership of the party in the state, the state House of Assembly and other political office holders for their loyalty and commitment in ensuring the smooth running of the state during the period the governor was away.
It also thanked the people of Cross River State and indeed all Nigerians for their prayers for the governor even as it restated the commitment of the PDP led- administration to continue to focus on the welfare of all Nigerians at all times.
