Tuesday- 22nd June, 2021: Cross River State has been hit by the scarcity of brooms, CEOAFRICA learnt.
The scarcity of brooms in the state may not be unconnected to the massive wave of defections to the APC which just hit the state.
A source from APC disclosed that the scarcity could be as a result of thousands of brooms taken to the central senatorial district for those defecting from the PDP to APC
A broom dealer in the Marian market described the scarcity as advantage to their business, stating that this is the first time that they business is making progress.
He said “This is the first time our business is moving. I have ordered for a thousand from Aiwa Ibom State for this weekend
“If it continues, I have no regret doing this business, everything has time according to the scriptures and this is our time to smile. May God help us” he stated
Confirming the scarcity, the Publicity Secretary of APC, Basset Ita said, “That scarcity of broom, which is APC’s symbol, has hit Cross River as millions of enthusiastic Cross Riverians continue to join the party in solidarity with the visionary and people-oriented governor.
“To address the challenge, the party ordered three million bundles of brooms from local suppliers to meet the growing demand.
“It is no longer news that the broom revolution has since hit our dear state following the defection of our amiable governor to our party, but what is now the news is that broom scarcity has hit Cross River following growing demand for it as millions of our people continue to identify with the party.”
