  "summary": "Former Calabar Municipality chairman, Mr Bobby Ekpenyong, has criticized Sir Arthur Jarvis Archibong, the PDP governorship candidate in Cross River State, for seeking to govern the state without prior experience in public office. Ekpenyong, who spoke at a news conference in Calabar, described Archibong's ambition as an insult, arguing that he lacked the necessary experience to govern the complex state. He further condemned a statement attributed to Archibong suggesting a vacancy at Government House, describing it as treasonable. Ekpenyong, a former secretary of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), urged political aspirants and parties to present verifiable records of their achievements, outline practical programmes, and engage voters responsibly.",
