Calabar—Scarcity of brooms have hit Cross River State, according to an investigation by Daily Post.
Mangrovepen.ng gathered that the scarcity is due to thousands of brooms bought in anticipation of the defection of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Central Senatorial District of the state.
It was revealed that brooms are now being sold as much as N500 and N1000.
A broom seller at Miriam Market described the situation as their time to smile.
“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”
When contacted, the publicity secretary of APC in Cross River state, Basset Ita explained that: “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.”
He added that, “To address the challenge, the party ordered three million bundles of brooms from local suppliers to meet the growing demand.”
