The South- South chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected the newly re-deployed Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Cross River State, Mr. Sylvester Okey. The party equally appealed to the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) to repost him to another state, in the interest of peace. According to the National Vice-Chairman South-South of APC, Mr. Hilliard Eta, who made the appeal, in a chat with newsmen, in Calabar, on Sunday, said the APC does not have absolute confidence in the credibility of the newly- redeployed REC because of his past antecedents and, as such, demanded that he should be changed if there must be transparent elections in Cross River.
Alleging that Okey is a card-carrying member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the APC leader said: “We dare say and want Mr. Sylvester Okey to take us to court by saying that he is a card-carrying member of PDP and we don’t want him in our state except the President and the INEC Chairman are trying to tell us that they have posted a PDP person to come and do their bidding.” He however appealed to the INEC to redeploy Okey to another State adding that, he offered that Okey should be posted to Borno or Kebbi where he would contend with the progressive forces because we are not strong enough for the kind of rigging for which Okey is known.
