With all due respect to the Speaker/now Acting Governor of Cross River State for the peaceful and cordial relationship he is said to maintain between the executive branch and the legislative branch of the state government; I find it very disturbing and even laughable that the Cross River State Speaker/Acting Governor (Mr. Odey) would declare the former Governor (Mr. Imoke) as his boss.
