Crisis over succession is currently rocking the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (ARD-UUTH) chapter in Akwa Ibom State.
The crisis, which erupted a few weeks ago over election of new officers, escalated earlier this month following the omission of the name of the current Secretary General of the association and presidential candidate, Eric Ojoko, from the list of candidates.
The association initially constituted a disciplinary committee to look into a petition against Mr Ojoko, which according to him was “constituted illegally with the influence of the President, Jumbo Hezekiah” just to disqualify him from the race.
