PDP still has a huge momentum in Cross River – Prof Onor

From Aniekan Aniekan, Calabar

The 2023 gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Cross River State, Prof Sandy Onor, says his party still has a huge momentum in the state.

Prof Onor disclosed this after the successful outcome of the 2025 State Congress of the party in Calabar.

The congress saw the re-election of Venatius Ikem as State chairman alongside 38 other State executive committee members.

“All the ingredients of success have been epitomised here,” Onor said.

“We had a proper panel duly certified and sent by the National Working Committee especially from the office of the National Organising Secretary which is mandated to undertake this responsibility.

“You can see the PDP still has a huge momentum in our state and the future is beautiful and bright. It’s very clear to those who did not participate that this is the direction,” Professor Onor said.

He appealed to party men who did not participate to get back to rhythm and continue to make the party a united umbrella.

He also expressed confidence that the new executive will do very well and tasked them to build together and carry everyone along.

Also speaking, Venatius Ikem, the newly re-elected chairman, said it’s time to put the party together and prepare for the task ahead.

He said the PDP’s vision is very deep and going forward he will not owe grudges and will embrace those who genuinely want to return to the party.

He also pledged to build a party that is formidable and focused on the common agenda of reclaiming Cross River State.
