If they didn\u2019t see anything wrong with Gov Mallam Nasir El\u2019rufai returning to school in 2017 in far away the Netherlands for his PhD, what then is wrong if Gov Ayade returns to school to add to his numerous degrees within Calabar, the state capital?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It also made reference to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Chief Whip of the Senate and member of the APC, who was an undergraduate student while serving as Abia State Governor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:\u00a0Why I Appointed Over 8000 Aides, Cross River\u2019s Governor, Ben Ayade<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe timing of Gov. Ayade\u2019s decision to return to school is unequivocally perfect. Unlike APC members, the Governor, despite all the resources at his disposal didn\u2019t choose any foreign University, he decided to do it locally thereby boosting the reputation of Nigerian Universities at a time tertiary institutions in West Africa are under attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor APC to lie to Cross Riverians that no serving Governor in the history of Nigeria has ever returned to school is unfortunate. Maybe, they just don\u2019t have the guts to commend the Governor for patronising Nigeria University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIgnorantly, Ochala also lied that Gov. Ayade didn\u2019t go to school while in the Senate. This is very shocking. Gov. Ayade was elected Senator in 2011 and later that year enrolled in Nigeria Law School, Abuja and was called to Barr in 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>              &#13;\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor of Cross River State, Ben Ayade, has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC is notorious for lies.
