GOVERNOR AYADE’S OBSCURANTISM*

Governor Ayade’s Cross River State Nigeria.
Now, under a “crossed” Government,
Run by a “crossed” Governor, who
Creates one ministry for each problem.

Cross River State, a state of only 3.8 million
Inhabitants, excluding cows and dogs, with
Eighteen local government areas
Now, administered by thirty nine Commissioners.

One commissioner for 100,000 inhabitants.
Money wasted on one ministry enough,
To lift 100,000 inhabitants out of poverty.
Poverty is a problem in Cross River State!

However, there is no Ministry of Poverty Alleviation,
No Ministry of Hunger, Ministry of Probity, or
Ministry of Bribery, Corruption, and Looting.
These problems are non-existent in the state, really?

Cross mismanagement with politics, and
Deliver obscurantism to your constituents.
Cross River State will forever be debating the
Merits and demerits of a bloated Executive.

Bloated Executive, a sure guarantee for underdevelopment.
Instead of discussing development for the next four years,
Turf battles between ministries, sure to
Generate more heat than development.

Welcome to the “crossed” State of Obscurantism – Cross River State!
