Focus On Governance And Leave Party Affiliations, Cooperate– APC Tasks Elected Officials
Cross River’s All Progressives Congress (APC) tasked all officials elected in the just-concluded general election to work together to move the state forward, no matter what party they belong to.
APC State President, Alphonsus Eba, accused Calabar on Monday while speaking to NAN.
Congratulating those who won their elections, Eba said that once the campaigns and elections are over, it’s time for governance and collective effort.
“For all those who have received their Certificates of Return across party lines, I say congratulations; campaigns are over; it is time for governance.
“Everyone must join hands with Sen. Bassey Otu, the governor-elect, to move the state forward,’’
He said.
The chairman noted that the APC came on board in Cross River barely two years ago but has been accepted by the people.
Sitting Gov. Ben Ayade defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to APC in 2021.
Eba said the acceptability of the APC resulted from the party’s sound and the renowned principle of equity and fairness concerning power rotation.
He thanked Gov. Ayade, whom he said insisted that power must return to the Southern senatorial district of the state after it went around all three districts.
“I thank the media also for being consistent with the message of equity, fairness and justice, and residents of Cross River for voting our party, the APC,’’
Eba said.
