The Cross River State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade has said that he is at the moment running the state from his pocket.
The governor promised to get US investors who are coming with $600 million to buy off the state’s debt burden and put the state economy on a sound footing.
But since the expected funds are yet to be handy and with no budget cover, the governor in a bid to keep government running has been shoring up with personal and family money.
In an interview held in the Governor's office durinf the week, he said:
“Would I just fold my hands and wait for the state House of Assembly. You do not ask yourselves how I get money to go on and push. I am not supposed to say what I want to say now, but I must tell you at this juncture that I brought my money to run this state"
