The Cross River chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says it would invoke the “monkey work, monkey chop” mantra in appointing and empowering its members in the state.
This is contained in a press statement titled: “Ward Nomination for Appointments and Empowerment” by the publicity secretary of the party, Erasmus Ekpang.
The statement noted that this would ensure that only those who worked for the party’s success during the 2023 general elections are rewarded in terms of appointments and empowerment.
It further stated that these same modalities would be used at the local, state and federal levels.
The statement also directed that the 20 names to be submitted by each ward must include 10 females and should also take care of sensitivity to geopolitical spread across polling units.
“Based on the kind approval of our amiable governor to appropriately reward our people, an expansion from three to 20 names per ward has been granted to the party leadership.
“Only persons who worked sincerely for the victory of the party in the presidential, senatorial, House of Representatives, governorship and state assembly elections with evidence of their results will be finally considered by the party in consonance with the party’s “monkey work, monkey chop” mantra.”
It stated that curriculum vitae, voter’s card, membership slip, and result in the last election are also a precondition for nomination.
