Councilors in Cross River State, have threatened to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC), for the People’s Democtatic Party (PDP), over what they described as “poor funding and none release of funds for their legislative activities” by the Cross River State Government in Nigeria.

This was made known after a meeting held in Ikom Local Government Area and they also agreed that they were going to commence the immediate impeachment of all the Local Government Chairmen in the state.

According to them, over N150million have been released to each Local Government Chairman as capital projects, yet no Councilor have been carried along or given any project.

They lamented that out of the 22 months they have been in office, they have only received Legislative Votes for six months, a situation they described as “painful and worrisome”.
