“Liyel Imoke is not sick, he is on a two-month
vacation” – Ndoma Egba

Senate Leader Mr Victor Ndoma-Egba has debunked
reports that the Governor of Cross River State, Mr
Liyel Imoke is dead or in a critical health condition.
In a press conference at the state secretariat of the
Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in Calabar; the state
capital, Mr Ndoma-Egba said the governor was only
on holidays.
He explained that given that he (Mr Imoke) had been
working for about 10 years now without rest, he’s
decided to go on two months accumulated vacation
abroad following signs of stress.
The Senate leader confirmed that the governor is
hale and hearty and that he offered him a ride when
he visited him at his residence in the U.S.
He further added that they both joked about the
governor’s rumoured death.
Mr Imoke has not been seen in public in some weeks
and unconfirmed reports claim that he is undergoing
treatment for a renal disease in the United States of
America.
This is the first time an official statement is made on
the governor’s whereabouts.
