The Ikom Local Government Council has firmly denied any connection to a recent report alleging that the Speaker of the Cross River State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Elvert Ayambem, is pushing to oust the Ikom LGA Chairman.
In a disclaimer issued on February 10, 2026, the Office of the Chief Press Secretary to the Executive Chairman, Hon. Pst. (Mrs.) Mercy Nsor, described the publication as false and unauthorised. The statement clarified that neither the Chairman nor her media team originated or briefed anyone on such claims.
The Council emphasized that the Chairman and the Speaker maintain a cordial and productive working relationship, which has delivered tangible development outcomes for Ikom LGA.
Describing the report as baseless and intended to create tension, the media unit urged the public to disregard the story and rely only on official communications from the Council.
The statement was signed by Ntemoyuk Christopher Ntemoyuk, Chief Press Secretary to the Executive Chairman of Ikom LGA.
