Mr Frank Ayade in standing posture shaking hands with Mr Atiku Abubakar, a presidential hopeful in the forthcoming 2019 general elections.
Ayade is the younger brother of Sen. Prof. Ben Ayade the Executive Governor of Cross River state.
This picture filtered into public space yesterday during the visit of Abubakar to Calabar, Cross River for the official opening of his presidential campaign office, Atikunation.
The question begging for clarification is: who is Frank Ayade beyond being one of the siblings to His Excellency the state governor? In what capacity did he feature in the ceremony of receiving Abubakar? Somewhere, he’s described as a businessman… Could this be true? What type of business makes you walk confidently around town with $20 million?
Merriam Webster Dictionary defines nepotism as ‘the unfair practice by a powerful person of giving jobs and other favours to relatives’, could it be what we have here? Who’s Frank Ayade. His Excellency should give us answers, please.
I am asking this question on behalf of Cross Riverians who have already started asking me who Frank actually is in this present state administration.
