So there is nothing like balancing, there is no equity in democracy<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no moral conscience. Democracy is blind to ethnicity, it is blind to religion, it is blind to fairness, it is repugnant to natural justice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Ayade, however, dispelled speculations that he is backtracking on his commitment to return power to the south.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, to be able to balance that, as governor, I still uphold my declaration that my successor will come from the south and indeed, he would come from the south,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>The governor, who said that he could not and would not play God by being specific on who his successor will be, added that his role is to be fair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe South had taken turn to produce a governor in Donald Duke, the Central had also produced a governor in Sen. Liyel Imoke and the North has produced one in me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it is common sense that we must go back to the South for equity. Every zone should know that their turn would come one day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut to be blind and leave it to crude democracy which was not customised to reflect African sensitivity, that if l have had it, and no matter the circumstance, let another too have it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River has reiterated his commitment to ensuring that power returns to the Southern Senatorial District of the state come 2023.
