Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in Cross River State, Alphonsus Eba has ordered the Ward 8 exco in Calabar Municipality to immediately reverse the purported suspension of the commissioner for culture and tourism, Ntufam Ekpenyong Iso.<\/p>\n

Eba summoned the ward Exco yesterday for a meeting where he reportedly scolded them and cancelled the suspension.<\/p>\n

According to media reports, the ward exco suspended Iso, citing alleged anti-party activities.<\/p>\n

According to party officials, Eba said that there was nothing like suspension in the party for now, charging them to retract the announcement of the suspension.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe State party chairman has reversed the suspension and directed the ward 8 chairman, Kingsley Ekpe to retract the announcement immediately as there was no suspension in the first place since due process was not followed\u201d, a stalwart who attended the meeting said.<\/p>\n

Findings indicated that the ward chairman and the secretary, Gilbert Bassey Otu allegedly used fake names and signatures for attendance at a meeting where they discussed the commissioner\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n

They then attached list of attendees to the purported suspension letter.<\/p>\n

When contacted, the commissioner said the purported suspension was the handiwork of some evil persons in his ward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat purported suspension was fake. People who thought that they can become Commissioner through blackmail were behind it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy that the ward exco during the meeting with the state party chairman yesterday confessed and dissociated themselves from it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
