It has been revealed that professor Ben Ayade, an All Progressives Congress presidential aspirant secretly purchased senatorial forms as plan B.
He had claimed to have secured the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari, leading to his disclosure to contest for the presidential ticket of the party.
On Monday, a support group presented the N100m APC presidential forms to the Cross River governor.
While accepting the forms, Ayade said he has governed Cross River well and can do the same for the entire country.
However, an APC document seen by SaharaReporters showed that the governor also obtained the N20m expression of interest and nomination forms for the Cross River senatorial election.

Ayade is seeking to represent Cross River North senatorial district in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
