Cross River: It’s Witchcraft For Central To Produce Governor – APC

The Director General (DG) of the Cross River APC Governorship Campaign Organization, Amb Soni Abang, has insisted that it would amount to witchcraft for the Central Senatorial District to produce the next governor of the state, saying that it was the turn of Cross River South to produce the next governor.

He spoke as the governorship standard-bearer of the APC Senator (Prince) Bassey Otu, assured the people of the state that his administration would continue and complete all uncompleted projects of the incumbent Governor Ben Ayade.

Abang speaking in Okpoma, Yala Local Government Area as the APC concluded its campaign in Cross River North insisted that for the sake of fairness, equity and justice, Senator Bassey Otu from the southern senatorial district is the right person to be the next governor of the state.

Despite being from Cross River Central where the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Sandy Onor emanates from, Abang noted that it was not the turn  of the the senatorial district.

He said: “I am from the central part of this state and I can say that it is not our turn to be governor. It is witchcraft to want to take what is not yours and we are not like that,” Abang said in insisting that it was the turn of Cross River South and not the Central to produce the next governor.

Meanwhile, Senator Otu giving his assurance in finishing uncompleted projects of the outgoing administration, said:

“I am always excited whenever I am in Yala because of your political consciousness. We will complete all the projects that is yet to be completed. This state was almost insolvent when governor Ayade took over but out of his ingenuity and deep vision he has laid a solid foundation for the State.

“When we take over, we will facilitate loans and grants to Yala sons who are involve in businesses, including ensuring that our sons who are local contractors are encouraged to rise and compete with companies like Julius Berger,” Otu promised.

Speaking, Ayade appealed to Otu to make the uncompleted Okpoma-Mfum road his first project in office.

The governor said: “All through my stay in office, I did not sell any government property, instead I have built so many. I want to publicly appeal to our incoming governor, Senator Bassey Otu, that when you get into office, please make sure you complete this Okpoma-Mfum road. Let this be your first project in office.

Other speakers at the event praised Ayade for constructing the Okpoma-Mfum road, which he has pleaded with Otu to complete. They called on the voters to reject the PDP and vote for all the candidates of APC.
