Cross River State House of Assembly, passed a vote of confidence on the Speaker, Elvert Ayambem, on Thursday, after he was expelled on Monday by the University of Calabar, UNICAL, following poor performance.
Ayambem, who was elected Speaker of the Assembly in June, was studying Economics in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
However, he was withdrawn alongside 637 others for below average Cumulative Grades Aggregates, CGPA.
His withdrawal has resonated across the state with some persons insinuating that his removal from the school might not be unconnected with his victory over Hilary Bisong, son of the Vice Chancellor who contested against him for the position.
