The council boss was said to have passed on on Friday morning, February 24, in her sleep at about 4am.
Calabar is one of the strategic states in the south-south region of the country that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) looked forward to retain, and the Peoples Democratic Party is working to take over in the Saturday, February 25, presidential election.
This is due to the fact that the state was under the control of the PDP before the governor, Ben Ayade, crossed to the APC ahead of the presidential primary of the party.
