The residence of the Deputy Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State and former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alphonsus Ogar Eba, Esq., has been marked for demolition by the Cross River State Government.
Officials of the Cross River State Planning and Development Control Taskforce on Monday pasted a demolition notice on the gate of Eba's residence located within the Water Board Estate in Calabar.
The notice, referenced CRS/PDCT/043, ordered that all activities on the property should cease immediately, indicating that the building has been earmarked for demolition.
Although the notice did not publicly state the specific reason for the planned demolition, the development has generated reactions among residents and political observers, particularly given Eba's prominence in Cross River politics.
Alphonsus Eba, who previously served as the State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), recently emerged as the running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate ahead of the forthcoming political contest in the state.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Eba nor the Cross River State Government had issued an official statement explaining the circumstances surrounding the demolition notice.
The incident is expected to attract political attention in the coming days as stakeholders await clarification from the relevant authorities.
