Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the central senatorial district in Cross River State have unanimously endorsed President Bola Tinubu and Governor Bassey Edet Otu for second terms ahead of the 2027 general elections. The endorsement was delivered during a high-level APC stakeholders’ rally at the Ikom Township Stadium.
Senator Eteng Jonah Williams, representing Cross River Central, emphasised that the people of Central Cross River were pleased with Governor Otu’s performance and determined to ensure his return in 2027. “The outpouring of support today is not mere rhetoric; it reflects deep satisfaction with the Governor’s delivery of democratic dividends,” he declared.
Former Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, predicted a political earthquake that would shake the status quo across the state until 2027, adding that Governor Otu deserves a second term based on equity and performance.
Minister of State for Industry, Senator John Owan Enoh, declared: “When Central speaks, the entire state listens. The message is clear: no vacancy in 2027. The reward for good governance is continuity.”
The endorsement was backed by various stakeholders, including the six local government chairmen from the district, the Central Commissioners’ Forum, and APC National Assembly members from the zone. APC State Chairman, Alphonsus Eba, praised the Central stakeholders for their unwavering commitment to party unity and development.
