Ben Ayade’s aide Divine Arong resigns

Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade

Divine Arong, the special adviser on Presidency and National Assembly matters to Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade, has resigned.

Her resignation letter dated December 29 was sent to the governor through the office of the Secretary to the State Government Tina Agbor.

“I hereby tender my resignation as Special Adviser to the Governor of Cross River State on Presidency and National Assembly Matters from today, the 29th day of December 2020. The reason to resign from my position is personal,” her letter reads.

It was gathered that her resignation might be connected with the outcome of some litigations between Ayade’s faction and Jarigbe Agom’s group in the Peoples Democratic Party.
