The Executive Governor of Cross River State, Mr. Liyel Imoke has declared that he will not take part in any political office, come 2015.
His declaration may have been as a result of the speculation that he is ready to take seat from the present senator, Victor Ndoma-Egba in 2015.
Addressing newsmen in Calabar, he governor also revealed that he will not impose any governor candidate on the people.
He said: “People are arrogating powers to me that I don’t want. They say they are waiting for me to speak or observing my body language.
“I don’t want to carry another person’s political wish. People say I am looking for someone that would protect me. Am I stupid? Only a fool would look for someone to protect him.
“Wouldn’t it be great if Cross River State gets a good governor? I would not mind if whoever takes over does not even call me until the end of his tenure, so long as the person does what is right for the state.
” The governor said although he was not going to impose anyone, there was still need for discussion among stakeholders about who will emerge as the next governor.
