The ancient town of Obudu today came alive as the APC campaign team continued her tour of the Northern region of the State.
In a carnival like atmosphere admirers and supporters took over the LGA with display from several support groups and cultural dances.
Speaking during the event, gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Sen. Prince Bassey Edet Otu thanked the good people of Obudu for donating their son who has laid a solid foundation for Cross River State, he said he will build on the successes of previous governments. “While serving as senator representing the people of the southern senatorial district, I pioneered an empowerment program that has continued to reverberate across the State without a budget. That is why in the coming administration which we will lead, we will create a ministry of human capital development, so that we can deliberately develop our young people and best hands.
I can assure you that Cross River State is moving to prosperity" he said.
He called on the people to vote for the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu who laid the foundation for the transformation of Lago State.
Addressing the crowd, governor Ben Ayade who is also the APC northern senatorial candidate said he only came to thank his people who have stood behind him from his days in the Senate till date. "I know your support is total"
He hinted that the Bola Tinubu has assured that when he becomes President, the ranch resort will be his second home.
"Jagaban personally demanded one project I will like his administration to do in Cross River, when he becomes president, I am from Obudu, but I opted for the Bakassi deep seaport to open up our maritime corridor".
Speaking earlier the Director General of the campaign H.E. Amb. Soni Abang said "it is important to recognise the sensibility of our diversity in the choice of leaders in our society. It is the reason zoning is understandably entrenched in our politics. The choice of Sen. Otu from the South represents truth, justice and equity. We will mobilise across the Wards and deliver along the lines of equity and fairness
